And some days blogs aren't enough. I wonder where are the people in my city, in my church, who could share some of my life more than my thoughts or arguments, but who share my values.

That said, since (as one of my other readers pointed out) voting is entirely extrabiblical - whereas leadership is not - this is a matter of freedom.

I often felt much alone at a younger age. These days I no longer feel set apart at the same level, so I feel that feeling less often.<BR/> <BR/>I did have one quick thought about evaluating current practice in the light of past history.
