Coming back to read your words is a great welcome indeed!<br /><br />You summarize my clumsily put thoughts perfectly. Any time we accept marginalization of any kind under any ruse, we negate God's gift of grace to us. We can't allow it--not only for our sake, but those who come after us.<br /><br />Christ died for all. Permitting ourselves to be classified as unworthy of our legacy reduces the cross to a social avenue for "haves" and "have-nots." It is the duty of all us--female and male, regardless of orientation, race, means, status, etc.--to exercise our rights of inheritance, openly, actively, and vocally. In doing so, we prove to those who might otherwise give in to ASBS schemes that they have the same rights.<br /><br />It is empowering for us and those around us.<br /><br />Blessings, dear sister. Now that's I'm back, I'm eager to get over to your place and catch up on what I've missed!<br /><br />Peace (and power),<br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722447614945782871.post-54411826522997811322010-06-19T12:21:23.621-05:002010-06-19T12:21:23.621-05:00No one has any right to demand we forfeit our lega...<i>No one has any right to demand we forfeit our legacy in Christ. No one can steal what God has given us.</i><br /><br />As I reflect on your post, Tim, I realize that there is so much in it, said so kindly that in fact I missed how true and potentially subversive is what you say.<br /><br />Our legacy in Christ... If I follow your thread, any time I accept to be marginalized as a feminist, a liberal, a lesbian, a transgender, a pro-Choice woman or a pro-poor activist, I allow these ASBS sufferers to cancel out all that Christ has done for each one of us... <br /><br />As you say, <i>it is signed with His blood.</i><br /><br />Oh...<br /><br />Thank you. How empowering this is.

I'm heartened by your comment.<br /><br />I pray you and Byron enjoy a happy summer, also--and I continue to enjoy what's happening over at Caffection!<br /><br />Blessings always,<br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722447614945782871.post-80608719064860728812010-06-15T17:13:27.188-05:002010-06-15T17:13:27.188-05:00Isn't that the truth Tim.
