addendum
I realize that I’ve been spewing a lot of opinion out here lately – I have had a lot to think about. But, it has been brought to my attention that my comments about Christmas may have offended some people.
I guess first off, I need to say that I don’t apologize for my beliefs, they are what they are. And I don’t apologize for this website, I write it for me and I think it’s a pretty good reflection of who I am. But I think what I need to make clear is that even though I may go against the norm in some ideals I hold, I only hold those standards for myself. Of course I find some of the practices of Christmas wrong, that’s why I don’t do them. But who am I to judge anyone else for what they do? I have enough to worry about myself and my own actions. Everyone must decide for themselves what they will do. In every part of life, each of us will make different decisions. And I find that part of life very beautiful.

Well said. And really, who has the time to sit around and judge everyone else? You and I have very different beliefs but that shouldn’t (and doesn’t) affect our friendship as long as we all respect each other. Hang strong, mama!

It’s sad that your own personal spiritual beliefs could offend anyone. In everything I have read the past few days from you I did not read “And I think those who don’t or do are wrong”

who is to say anything about anyone else. I for one found it interesting to see your point of view and never felt you where saying I could or could not practice my own beliefs, but if anything asked me to reflect on why I do things and what things mean to me…how is that bad?

Do I hear an AMEN in the house!!! You do a great job here Allison and if someone else does not like it- dont stop by for a vist. :)I have NEVER felt like you were telling me or suggesting that someone needs to live by your standards. Be like a duck – let the water roll right off your back! I love how you get me to think about stuff – just getting me to think some days!! :) keep up the great work here – I love this place!!!!

I didn’t post before about Christmas becasue I totally agree with you. And even if I felt or believed differently I would never ever think you were being judgemental. I think we all apprecate having a friend that has though so much about what and why she believes. It is so refreshing!

You have never come across as being judgemental. You talk about the things that are important to you. Isn’t that what blogs are for? If people are nasty it’s because they are missing something themselves, and they think lashing out will make them feel better. You’re a strong woman who does what she thinks is best for her family and sticks by her choices. Kudos to you, and pscht to anyone else.
