It brought out and resolved some things that I had bee feeling since childhood. Now I do believe that in having a love relationship with Christ, there are things that i don't do (avoiding the appearance of evil) not because a Christian can't, but because they would not be healthy in that relationship. I truelly love his summation of a love relationship with Christ, even if I do believe that some things don't help in a love relationship with Christ. (All things are legal but not all are expedient) Thank you for allowing me to post even though i am uneducated. I recently read BLJ.

Or maybe I'm just entertained at stupid things like that. I HAVE VOICE IMMODULATION! SEE? I JUST WHISPERED THAT BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW. But good points. I don't think Don is trying to celebrate his mistakes either. I just read D BLACK’s comments as if Will Ferrell were in character as that guy who can’t change his voice level.

I have even defended him when his past was brought up. I agree that is not the point at all. 'Just not sure whom you are addressing when you say, "He has put his past behind him…why don’t you?!" Hey Bar’,
