I wanted to point out that, as LONG as it was, my last entry was nowhere NEAR the whole story.  There are many things that I had to leave out for the sake of space, and I hope that people who WERE in my life at the time can forgive me for that.  For their sake I'll mention here that there WERE people in my life, some of whom were Christians, some of whom were CONSERVATIVE Christians, at that time and shortly after who were VERY supportive.  I'd name them, but I'm too worried that I'd leave someone out accidentally who would feel slighted if they happened by.

But they were a great comfort and I thank them.  I just wish that their efforts could have superceded the influence of those who WEREN'T comforting... who were cold, judgmental, or who let their dogmas overshadow their love.  I also want to thank those people who WISHED they could be more supportive but had no idea how.  I knew you were there and I knew that you cared, even though you weren't sure how to show it.  And for those whose gifts do not allow them to be predisposed to "comfort"... I still appreciate you.  

I also did not mean that entry as a slam against Christianity, conservative or otherwise.  I still have many friends who are Christians and even a few (ok, three) who I'd consider "conservative".  ;)   I cannot let even my experiences allow me to become prejudiced, and neither should you.

Love,
Crystal

 In the laundry room there is a sign posted on the wall, explaining that soon, we will need $1.75 in quarters instead of $1.25 to do the laundry.  Underneath the declaration, someone in my apartment hall has written, "Will they be a bigger and better washer and dryer?"

Someone else has responded, "Yeah, with dry clothes, the FIRST time???"

and someone ELSE has responded, "What are these dry clothes you speak of???"

I love my neighbors. ;)

Love,

Crystal
