Your Own Path

I find myself talking with people who, because they don’t attend a church anymore, or their beliefs have taken a radical left turn, or they have entered a very dark cloud of unknowing, speak as though they are disqualified. They think and talk as though their decision to make an independent stand has expelled them from some kind of club that therefore expels them from its privileges. The privileges that matter. The infinite ones.

My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to validate their own journeys and encourage them to walk their own paths with confidence and courage, and to not be intimidated by the naysaying crowd.
