I Was Wrong!
Yeah, I know, you already knew that! Maybe so, but the thing is I did not.
Have you changed your beliefs on something you very adamantly were convinced of in days gone by? Wow! I know I have. It seems life has a way humbling a person. It could be theology or otherwise but it seems we are all on a journey that is shaped by our life experiences - including of course, our experience with the Lord Jesus.
Just the thought... Just knowing I am not what I will be in ten or twenty years is humbling to me. Not that I desire to be fluid in my beliefs or throw caution to the wind at all. But I know that even theologians and scholars are growing, learning and even changing beliefs on things throughout their lifetime.
Help me Lord to stay sober minded. In 2011 May I become humble knowing my weakness is great. May I refrain from judging my fellow man harshly. Amen.

You touched my heart with this very sweet and humble note of a very significant moment of insight.
I pray that this will always be my attitude as well.
God bless.

I am suspicious of people who never change. You can be happy knowing you have gained more of my trust today.  (I know you were seriously concerned about that.  )

Re: I Was Wrong!
The most valuable lessons are the ones we learn for ourselves. Our pastor would often say that the most overused words were I, me and mine. He was right! It's hard for me to be wrong. Even harder to admit it. I pray that I am more gracious about both.

Smithy should get excited because in spite of some current disagreement in a thread or two, I like him alot and don't judge him as anything other than a brother.
