Hmm. This makes me wonder~

Is this why my sister really doesn't talk to me anymore? She had loaned me 'The Passions of the Christ' and I told her I couldn't watch it because I couldn't sit and watch the torture, no matter to whom. I don't go in for that sort of visual, ya know?

So, after, she 'witnesses' to me. I know it is her new church and I know they are supposed to 'save' people and I love her for wanting to 'save' me.

I told her that I felt that I was living a life that would make God happy, I am honest and I care about people, etc. She said it wasn't enough. I told her it was for me and while I appreciated her attempt and the reasons behind it, no thanks.

I also told her 'You did do a great job in your attempt'. See, me, always trying to be positive. Even though I wanted no part in all of it, even though I felt attacked, insulted and my whole life knocked, I still wanted to encourage her on her attempts.

Anywho, don't hear from her much anymore. I wondered what was up and now this makes sense.

Aren't they supposed to cut people out who aren't positive Christian role models? I really wonder if I've heard this before.

Well, while it saddens me that there are two people who come to mind {one being my sis} who have been absent from my life, it is such a nice feeling not to be judged every freakin' time we are together that what I say is wrong and that I think the way I do or have problems that I have because I don't go to church, etc.

Strength to you in this time and remember you are a great person.
