I remember seeing Sammy Hagar on the old Bob Costas show "Later" years ago and he said, "I've always just played what I wanted to play and done what I've wanted to do. If it's "in," it'll be "out" so you can never base your life or your art on trends or the passe." That has always stuck with me when I see people overexerting themselves to make what they're doing relevent to the moment.<BR/> - TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-79148043678593204692007-11-11T22:39:00.000-05:002007-11-11T22:39:00.000-05:00Right on bro!

I liked also where you talked about the fact that the gospel MUST be preached! I'm sorry that I am often lousy at filling in the blanks. I've read some of the posts from those who want to take all you "conservatives" ;o) to task for real or imagined slights. <BR/>WHEN folk say they (as homosexuals) are not welcome in church, they might try being a bit more friendly and remove the chip from their shoulder. Some places it won't matter, but I for one have been welcomed at any church I attended. Some folk 'know' my position, but I don't bludgeon them with it and am, in turn, treated kindly. I am there to worship the Lord. All else would be inappropriate.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660392650527314409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-59452982803989174022007-11-10T12:32:00.000-05:002007-11-10T12:32:00.000-05:00well, thanks for that, kat...well, thanks for that, kat...Bryonmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483341910569645033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17744322.post-83933142523765201292007-11-10T12:20:00.000-05:002007-11-10T12:20:00.000-05:00feelin' pretty good about myself after reading you...feelin' pretty good about myself after reading your post, Bryon! ;o)<BR/><BR/>Once caused myself a world of hurt over on Phoenix Preacher. I felt SO at home there that I forgot that a certain topic was a HOT button for many. Bringing up the "H" topic was, for me, not an intention of starting a war. In my mind, I was with brothers and sisters in Christ. I still feel that way, but have learned to leave certain issues out of certain places. <BR/>The good part was that I had some big, strong masculine Christian men stick up for me and my welcome there...even given a couple of meltdowns on my part. Gives me warm fuzzies to this day. I miss them. You're one of the good guys, Bryon! Thankyou.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660392650527314409noreply@blogger.com
