Thoughts on the "Coexist" Bumper Sticker (part 2) The Search for Harmony
1. Keep it clean (no cheap shots and hitting below the belt)
2. Keep it REAL (whatever that means... I dont really know, but it seemed like a good place to say that)
3. Keep it going :o) ( although some may be more long winded than others, that doesn't mean they are experts or smarter, or have more credibility than others... looking objectively at those who post, I think we can draw our own conclusions about others without being judgemental.
4. Come Clean: Try to be clear... If you come to realize that you may have mispoke or came accross wrong, admit it, apologize, ask for forgiveness, move on.
5. Seek Truth: Look for truth in what everyone posts and throw out the rest. Truth is in us and around us and no one person posseses all truth and all knowing, we can all learn from each other, no matter how different.
6. Love Conquers all: keep a spirit of love for one another, no matter how different and allow each other to express them selves and their thoughts.
I think that is a good place to start... What do ya'll think? I think whether we like it or not, we already have to coexist, it is a matter up to us to decide how that coexistence will look like. One of harmony despite differences or one of discord... you reap what you sow... So lets start sowing some seeds that our children are proud of.
FInally: When are we going to Shoot the Video? I am Serious... it would be so much fun : I still think I could be bruce springstein and the rest of you all can be whoever... I would like to see Lorraine with pink hair.

Bonnie,
God love you... Bless you for your Faith in Him and His Word. I pray that as you seek to know him more, he will reveal more truth to you. I pray that as you stand on his word and continue to view the world through his word, that you will abound in grace, knowlege, truth and Love. Thank you for your encouraging words to everyone and your simple faith to take God at his word. Despite the slams and comments of others... The Bible says that the Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom... that comes from Solomon, as inspired by God, in Proverbs. Keep it up.

Kyle,
Thank you for being brave enough to start something that is touchy subject. You really have a spirit of harmony and a grasp on what it takes to have dialogue in a way that is harmonious. Don't Stop.

Well, I would like to start out by saying some nice things about all of you who posted on (Part 1)
Brandon... Wow... your deep thoughts and sincere search for what is REAL and true amaze and challenge me. Don't stop asking the tough questions and demanding answers... You inspire me, although we disagree on a lot of things, we have more in common than the surface would show because of our mutual respect for one another's intelligence and sincere desire to have an egaging conversation that allows people to express their views with a loving spirit. Thank You.
