One of my Facebook “friends” (actually a complete stranger to me — social media makes for odd relationships) posted the following last week: “Don’t you dare tell me who I can call my brothers and sisters in Christ! That is way above your pay grade!”
I was tempted to respond, “Is it above yours?”
Following up with last week’s article in this space: The “sister” in Christ to whom I referred — the one who prompted the article regarding society’s idea of “sex education” vs. God’s idea — claims now to have lost her faith entirely. Whether her views on this particular subject helped her along those lines are not, I could not say.
I asked her what was the specific cause of her apostasy, and she was glad to answer directly and respectfully.
I don’t floss. Never have. I have been told my whole life that flossing helps prevent tooth decay. All I knew was, it hurt my gums. And my fingers. Plus, it’s gross. Do I regret it? Stare into my complete absence of dental work while I say, “Nooooooooooooo.”
