I collect Panda Bears. They are a constant reminder to me. I don't collect them because they are cute. I collect them becasue they are black and white.
People talk so much of the "grey" area in our lives. Decisions are not black and white. I use to think life was black or white, right or wrong. I had problems finding the greay areas. But even with grey... there are areas in my life where i have been unable to find anything but black and white.
Grey represents compromise to me. I feel there should be few, if any, compromises in my life. Unfortunately there are too many compromises. I am now trying to take a stand.
When i was living within the plain communities they were always saying about church that there are many flavors, like an ice cream store. We have to choose a church that allows us to live out our lives living as close to our convictions as possible. Living out as many of our convictions as possible because we are never going to find the perfect church. (Don't you find it strange the many religions that claim to follow the teachings of one book, The Bible, can be so extreemly different in their practice -interpretaion- of what it says?)
