That wasn't entirely a misconception, MacDuff - I confess that I am guilty of sometimes "not getting it"... where you were coming from, that is.
That is, unfortunately, the trouble with this kind of correspondence- fellowship. It's entirely too easy to put our own feelings/emotions, or, if you like "
interpretations" into what the writer has put down. Without facial expressions, inflections in tone, considerate pauses... it can be hard to "hear" the heart of the writer. I try to write carefully so as not to cause offense; not that I'm always successful either. In any case, for what it is worth, I have appreciated being able to both read what you have to say, and to challenge what I have
interpreted you to have written... and some of your more recent posts are putting things in a little clearer light for me, so I'm trying to read more and write less until I get a better feeling to add to the discussion.
