So often my witness seems to be in words (from my point of view), but they are received as arguments. I'd like to think I speak the truth, but many others do not see it that way. And when we can't agree on what is true and what is false, what can we agree upon?<br /><br />I guess sometimes it is just as well we shut up, and let our actions be our truth.<br /><br />Re the conference, it was great, as always. Next year I likely will go again; if you are interested let me know. Don't worry about finances, I can always fit one or two more in the car and/or in the room --- and I like company.Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-73036409407956382502011-08-01T09:41:53.907-04:002011-08-01T09:41:53.907-04:00Amen - one at a time. Great post.
Alas, it's ...Amen - one at a time. Great post.<br /><br />Alas, it's so easy to try too hard, to be too aggressive in trying that you can turn the person off. I know I have to struggle with the fact that my actions can be more effective than any words and arguments (and I like to argue!). <br /><br />We had hoped to make the conference this year - but an ill father-in-law (and the cost) prevented us. I hope it is a wonderful experience for you!A Secular Franciscanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184259228282290040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332117297336636395.post-19653670237316669502011-07-30T22:04:59.096-04:002011-07-30T22:04:59.096-04:00Wonderful post Tom!Wonderful post Tom!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06195528409761980551noreply@blogger.com
