How can something I find such passion and energy in disappoint and shame the people I love?
I'm not sure I'll ever understand Your people, God. I know we won't always see eye to eye but why is the default reaction to a differing opinion always an insult? Why am I not allowed to use my own brain when searching for Your will? And when someone doesn't come to the same conclusions I do, does that mean one of us is wrong? Or could You possibly speak to and guide us differently?
This is just another opportunity to search You and grow closer, Lord. Ultimately, that's what I gain - a deeper grasp on Your heart.
Sometimes I just wish it wasn't so gray. Black and white sure sounds good right about now.

I really respected the "conversation" we had via blog about prop 8 & 102. We had differing opinions and we both were able to express our thoughts in a loving and honest way. That is so important! I would assume it was intentional that God made us all different. We have all had different life experiences. So it should be a natural thing that each person would process things differently. Plus talking with people with opposing views is great! It can open your mind or even help sharpen your thoughts about a topic. I wish there wasn't so much tension when two people- passionate about a topic- have opposing views.
