I'm not where many of you are on certain issues, but many of the things mentioned I have changed my mind on.
On my list, I could put things like music and movies and clothes and outward standards but those are actually trivial compared to certain deeper things. I'd have to really think about those for a longer time than this quick reply, but let me respond to a couple comments above:
1. exfundy4Jesus wrote, "We must fix people and set them right." YES!!! Oh, what a relief to realize that I'm NOT responsible for other people. I just read a link a friend posted on facebook which included this line, "If you want your boyfriend to turn into a husband who loves you like Christ, make sure he is walking with Christ." WHAT?!!! THAT'S NOT YOUR JOB!!! That's between the guy and the Holy Spirit. You can choose not to date him based on his behavior/attitudes, but you can't MAKE SURE he is "walking with Christ." Good grief.
2. leo wrote, "It's OK to hate yourself." Oh, wow. I'm still working on that.
3. BigRed1, good list! I agree.
