Hey Julie,

Really?

Look back. Somewhere something has lit a thought. Search for it, it is there.

No…it was intentional as are most of the things I write.

Hey Julie,

Subliminal?

No, it has nothing to do with the Extreme song.

Julie,
What I will keep in mind are your words: When we stand firm in our beliefs, testify to what we know and answer questions simply and honestly then the Truth will set us free.
“simply and honestly” is key.

Hey Julie,

I do see your point of view, but I think it is being misapplied. I could be wrong, but I think Jesus is referring to future martyrs, not Saturday morning freelance writers. Is all you have to do is look up St Stephen to see what I’m talking about.

BTW, I do question the title of your reflection, considering your taste in music. A little Extreme, no?

Interestingly, I was thinking of this before I knew what today’s reading were, and your piece helps gel the conclusions I came to: we might worry that what we say doesn’t make the sense we’d like it to, given our own choice of words, and we might feel that it’s all up to us to make the defense, that if we don’t speak, no one will. God has lots of speakers and lots of time, and he may choose us to say just this one thing, and someone else to say something further, at another time, according to what our auditors can take. And it comes down to standing firm in our beliefs, as you say. Always love your reflections, and I’m not finished mulling over this one yet!
