Forgive me for being crass, but I have to laugh when I am watching TV and an actress has had certain surgical enhancements of late. Let's get serious!

I think every Christian should decide in their heart two things. First, what are the essentials that make up the faith, what are those things that are non-negotiable. Second, what then are those things that are preferable, or what do we want to base our fellowship on. The two are different yet each equally important. And then the next step is to decide how to act on each of these things in real life while keeping the focus on love.

I started reading this book today called "A New Kind of Christian" and in one of the stories the author is telling he makes the point how we white people (the author is white as well) think of other cultures as either black or white. We don't take into consideration other cultures or backgrounds, one is either black or white, yet how many people do we know fit into either of those categories.

As with many, but not all, things do not fit into black or white boxes, the world can be very gray.
