Well, Brother Jerry, thanks fir them kind words. One thing I have noticed not only around Mudcat but in other music sites is that folks don't step up too mcu and speak of Faith issues unless it is in intellectual way, which of course has really not much to do with ones spiritual self.

Now, I knwo there are lots of folks here who by their posting have deep senses of Faith but you kind of have to figure it out indirectly. But, we will be judged by our deeds, irregardless so, hey, it is individually okay for folks to keep their spritual stuff to themselves but I do worry about the collective with-holding. It says something about the culture, I think, where folks that don't hardly know each other will banter about sex but are embarrassed or reluctant to say one word about their Faith. Just a curious observation...

Yeah, I thought hard about hitting the "submit" button after writing my post. Not just because it was somewhat different from what everyone else was talking about, you know, with the quiz... but also because I do sense that's it's not okay to put that much of ones soul out there to get shot at. But, like I said in the post, the Holy Spirit moves within me and, like you have done here Jerry, just taken that step. Hey, maybe the fact that you and I have blazed the trail, so to speak, others may feel that what ever it is, the boogie man or whatever, that prevents folks from showing their spirtaul selves, is nothing but fear. Nothing else. No real boogie man, Just smoke...
