Some are better at expressing their feelings than others.  Not sure where I stand in all this. I am learning to love more perfectly and am aware that we are all equal at the foot of the cross;  I don't try to picture any of you one way or the other but from what I know, do appreciate everyone's specialness in the Lord..   When I painted a mental picture of the guys in the gowns and myself as an illiterate, I was trying to show that these pictures are only accurate to a small degree.  There is so much more to a person than how educated or uneducated we are.  These guys don't flaunt their degrees.  I don't have my pickup sitting on blocks.  Still, they have their experiences and I have mine, and we can learn from each other if we don't peck one another to pieces. I would rather die than spend years sitting in a classroom, but if that is their thing, good for them.  Some of them would probably rather work with their brain than with their hands, but I need to do something physical to feel as though I am actually working.  God did not make the body of Christ to be all fingers or toes or eyeballs.  The body needs some of each to be complete.  We need one another.  With that in mind, it seems inappropriate to me to tell a brother or sister not to speak (write) to us again.  By the same token, it is wrong to cram our opinions down someone else's throat.  Maybe if we all went back and studied what Paul had to say love was?
