Here's another This I Believe that I read today. This one makes me sad, though I completely understand where the writer is coming from. I know what it's like to serve God out of fear rather than love. And I definitely know what it's like to be judged by fellow church members to the point of having to walk away.

I'm glad that Paul Thorn has finally found a spirituality that works for him, one in which he can live without fear. It's very sad how Christians treated him. I hope that one day he realizes that though we wear the label of Christian, we're not always good at being a Christ-like as we should.
