TAKING OFF THE ROSE COLORED GLASSES!

I have been simply reading some of the post during the convention. (I really didn"t have time during or after and we are having VBS this week so I have had priorities. I know most of you guys are blogging and not witnessing. ;)) Kevin Bussey and his interview with the wako from westboro ( I know we all Love this Lady in the Lord but what a nut!) any way I could not even watch all 3 parts it is so sad that there are people that in the name of a god they spew that kind of hate, but is it any different than what was going on inside the Coliseum? Now don’t get me wrong they didn’t do it the way that lady did or did they? She would make a statement and if you disagreed with her she would call you a name like "whore monger"or "bimbo" and I am sure she called some one a "liberal" the very oh wait that's what was used in side! Do you see what I mean! I was very pleased to read on Dr Cole's post of the person or persons who made the comment to Dr. Vines. I believe this is what was said I was not present a the time but I will put what Dr. Cole posted.

From the bleachers, a man cried out that "Just because your name is Jerry Vines doesn't mean you get special treatment." I have to confess that I caught the uncomfortable sneer of Dr. Vines a time or two this week, but I really don't hold anything against him. He is a faithful preacher and a mighty spokesman for biblical values and personal holiness. I don't care who it is, but especially when it is a man who's done as much for the Southern Baptist Convention as Jerry Vines, such outlashed animosity is completely inappropriate. It is, in fact, downright rude. But the convention was stressful and people were saying and doing things that I'm sure they'll regret upon

I will admit that some things Dr. Cole has said before the Memphis meting were very unkind but I have noticed in his writing and his comments there is less can I say "bitterness" not sure if that is correct just my felling in the way it sounds to me. Most of the worst came from the Anonymous character that he and a few others used, he confessed and said he would not post under that title again. Have you noticed at lest on other sites (mine has very few comment but some do still read) that the Anonymous is less and less used. I think that is a great thing that to me means men and women can comment without felling that they must agree and that most bloggers are adults and can handle constructive criticism. Can we all agree that progress was made in Greensboro? I know there are many who believe that San Antonio will bring out the Texans in drove but if we still fill the same way about the convention as we did a month ago then it is very important to be at the next one! I must say thank you to the dear Lady that sent my wife and I to Greensboro this year. You truly blessed us with your gracious gift thank you again! I believe that with the help of all of those who believe a change was a good thing their will be long lasting affects of this years convention.
