I no longer see life as simply black or white.

I no longer believe that my beliefs are superior to that of another person.

And it all started when I started to ask questions.

I took every piece of information I heard in church hook line and sinker.

Then one day, I started doing what the Berean Church of Old did;

>>And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.

Acts of the Apostles 17:11 NLT

And I say, amen and amen. I embarked on this journey over twenty years ago and learned to receive more grace from Christ than I did for the previous 20 years. Better, still, this grace overflows to my sphere of influence, starting with family and to friends, the church, and work acquaintances. It's amazing how much the Spirit of Christ can love others through us when we let go of our prideful self-righteousness and judgment of others.

Sharon--welcome to the world of questioners. I look forward to hearing more from you.
