Guess what...I agree with them. Oh, wait a minute... I'm over 40. Does that mean I'm slighting my generation or sucking up to the youngsters? Oh, wait. Do I ask you that question because you will agree with me or should I ask someone my own age who will surely disagree with me? If you're thinking right now..."Why doesn't Dave shut up already?"...I agree!<br />Just kidding!

I heartily repent of this my misdoing, the rememberance of it is grievous unto me. Not ALL "over-forties" are incapable of living together in the midst of disagreement. And not ALL "under-forties" are hip to the post-modern milieu of the dynamic, transformative tension of honest diversity. As I wrote in the blog, I use broad generalities to make a point, not to indict particular individuals.<br />Kevin, you are one of the most wonderfully tolerant "over-forties" I have ever known! Thank you for staying true!<br />Grace and Peace, everyone,<br />Andy B.Andy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05944614269873479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-1107818520056856822005-02-07T17:22:00.000-06:002005-02-07T17:22:00.000-06:00AB,
sounds like a great trip you had to DC...funny...AB,<br />sounds like a great trip you had to DC...funny you mentioned it. I just signed on the dotted line today to go on the spring break trip to Washington DC, with the Diciples on Campus the Newman Center and the only methodist being myself, but i'm strongly bread!...<br /><br />It is amazing how us methodists can agree to disagree. Thus is why i have chosen to stick with the methodist church, me being one of those very young clergy hopefuls have had my experiences at the United Methodist Student forum where we discuss hot topics as you aluded to and the way that we can have an open discussion and not kill ourselves over it is very hopeful and i too see a great future for the church. I can only hope that in my future clergy life i can continue bring the hope and life that i have experienced to the church. <br /><br />oh and SpongeBob is my hero! if anyone can make me laugh its SpongeBob! and what is the world without a bit of added humor?natesmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622967007825442883noreply@blogger.com
