So much work when it's already been done for them if only they'd believe. Good reminder to continually be praying. Can't believe i'm just now getting into the whole blog thing, i'll be following yours from now on! yet another way for us to remain connected, woohoo!!!Four Buttonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124309855263628792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119445855477656985.post-9702409311359099882008-01-28T13:38:00.000+08:002008-01-28T13:38:00.000+08:00Dear Coexist,Thank you for your comments. I believ...Dear Coexist,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your comments. <BR/><BR/>I believe that you have confused tolerance with acceptance. I am very respectful and tolerant toward the personal beliefs of others, even though I disagree with those beliefs. I have many friends who embrace different religions or no religion at all. I treat each of them with respect, though they know I disagree. I believe they would agree that I am not a "bigoted, ugly American." <BR/><BR/>Because I love and care about the eternal destiny of others, I long to see others who hold to false religions come to the place where they embrace Christ. It is not disrespectful to expose falsehood and point toward truth. <BR/><BR/>I hope that you visit again. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170444211550150607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119445855477656985.post-53200778877840360552008-01-28T12:37:00.000+08:002008-01-28T12:37:00.000+08:00Your posts are very interesting.

I will pray that you are able to learn from your host country's tolerance towards *you* and reflect the same tolerance towards their religion.<BR/>Really, it's 2007, and yet your remarks about "godless heathens" takes me back to a medieval mindset. Be careful that your title doesn't become "every day life for a bigoted,ugly American in Singapore."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119445855477656985.post-25950313715014293492007-08-27T22:00:00.000+08:002007-08-27T22:00:00.000+08:00I, too, love the way you carved out this story.

I was wondering how it must have been feeling for you to be among all of this activity this month as I continued to read the post.christiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278757714101308785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119445855477656985.post-18697877815925146332007-08-27T10:50:00.000+08:002007-08-27T10:50:00.000+08:00Awesome picture and explanation.

We will remember to pray for you as you encounter people that believe those godless and entrapping fables.<BR/><BR/>It was fun talking to you and Caleb on skype, and seeing the monkeys with our own eyes scampering around!not2brightGRAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546997993475013394noreply@blogger.com
