(What? More cliches? lol)<BR/><BR/>Dr. John: Well, that's not exactly the kind of "going along to get along" I meant. I have frequently confronted "the powers that be" when I've seen things that weren't right. It's more under the order of personal relationships, but I'm wondering if it really makes any difference. But I take great solace that "I am complete in Christ."

I too have always gone along to get along, and am working on the big change. Two steps forward and one back it seems, though some days I wonder if it isn't 1 forward and 2 back... sigh. For the most part I do see much progress, and am grateful for that. I think I've been going through the backward step the last day or two... thanks for reminding me to go forward. I also recommit to be Free & Fully Me!!Alice (in BC Canada)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09512112540193806978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653584016016756865.post-24762393538846059562009-04-05T08:04:00.000-06:002009-04-05T08:04:00.000-06:00Great commitment to make.Great commitment to make.Nessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779269921583131094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653584016016756865.post-61958440744662919782009-04-04T23:14:00.000-06:002009-04-04T23:14:00.000-06:00Well Quilly said it already but let me say I expec...Well Quilly said it already but let me say I expect bascially everyone to speak their mind. Be their own person. It's the only way to be if you ask me. I also believe that it is very easy to be civil in spite of "political correctness. Great post.

With the relative anonymity and vastness of the internet, I don't have the same kind of issue on-line. On the other hand, I have no wish to needlessly hurt a person's feelings for the sake of it. Despite my abhorrence of "political correctness," at least what it has morphed into, I still appreciate civility. :)Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783416806379420376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2653584016016756865.post-25767431180969727642009-04-04T20:34:00.000-06:002009-04-04T20:34:00.000-06:00Thom and I were just talking about this this morni...Thom and I were just talking about this this morning -- some folks allow us to be ourselves, and other's don't.

When we can recognize them and stop the backslide, that's when we get confirmation that we can truly change.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your declaration!Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.com
