MCMV9048@WOOSTER (Mark V. McGrew) (01/11/90)
To whom it may concern: Brace yourselves. I have been amazed at the mutual suspicion on lots of people's parts these past days after I returned. For a couple of hot topics, the only discussion that appears to be going on is a "why? why not?" argument. Come on, people! Wake up! We can ALL, yes, ALL, do better than this! Of course, I have a proposition. This weekend (which, btw, is M. L. King weekend), why don't we all just leave the list alone? Never mind how right or wrong anyone is. Just be quiet and take some time alone with God. Ask Him to remind you of your own humanity and your own capacity to goof. *Then*, when you're ready to concede that you might be wrong, we can resume our discussions. (I don't want any messages saying, "Well, I can do that right now!" No shortcuts. Take the full route: prayer, meditation, Bible reading, reflection.) How about it, folks? God bless, "Jesus Christ alone knew answers to Mark McGrew all questions and knew how to feed 20,000 Jews with five loaves of bread. We don't possess that skill." --Official atheist Mikhail Gorbachov
