The news is full of Christians doing things i find obnoxious. Some pastor in Florida is advocating burning of the Koran. Sigh.
It does often seem to me that some Christians feel that hate is justified when they are dealing with people who somehow threaten their faith, or that threaten the "purity" of the Church, or something. It bothers me a great deal, especially as we all folks carrying the name "Christian" tend to be tarred with the same brush.

Lord, please let me love more. Please give me the love i need to share. Please help me to know how to share love & not let it be simply something within. Please help me to find ways to let the ones i love know that i care, & help me to love them more.
