Bay City PD is a no go.  Not good enough for them.
Hoping and praying for a job soon.  I'm afflicted with restlessness.

I think I didnt make myself clear enough. There is a difference between "tolerance" and "acceptance". Your grandmother loved me even when I didn't believe in Christ. Does that mean that she accepted my belief that He was merely a man and good morale teacher? Heavens NO ( ... )

You put acceptance on a fine line. I understand your thoughts and feelings now :) This topic is trivial and so is God. I bet we could discuss this topic for hours on end with all of the ambiguity involved.. So many questions.

RIGHT you are my friend! God is a topic that I could talk with you forever about.
------------------------------------------------------------
(from websters dictionary)
ac·cep·tance ( P ) (k-sptns)
n.
The act or process of accepting.
The state of being accepted or acceptable.
Favorable reception; approval.
Belief in something; agreement.
Abbr. acpt.
A formal indication by a debtor of willingness to pay a time draft or bill of exchange.
A written instrument so accepted.
Law. Compliance by one party with the terms and conditions of another's offer so that a contract becomes legally binding between them.
----------------------------------------------------------

So really Im not the only one with rigorious standards for acceptance. Accepting is very personal and is completely different from "Respect", "Tolerance",and "Love".
Theres three things I pray to have for everyone.

Talking about this accually reminds me of the past when I wanted to become a priest. But I realized back then why I had my doubts. The problem was is that I couldn't speak Greek lol. Well I know a few words even though they are vulger. Which reminds me. We should go to the Greek mass before we leave. I think you would enjoy the atmosphere and would be a good learning environment. The priest is very kewl. He used to be budist(or something along the lines of) but he was ordained as an Orthodox priest. Very intelligent and wise man.

Absolutely! I would LOVE to go to the Greek mass. If we can't make it before you leave, I'd love to go to your Uncles in Maine when we visit.
