Re: now you are beginning to understand...

I don't recall if you're into the bible or not, but you gotta admit that these verses (from John 15) are perty cool - and - a blessing - maybe they do not necessarily feel that way now - but they are! ;^}

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
