Shades of grey!

I really enjoy putting these random thoughts from my head in writing! It somehow seems to complete my thinking process! So, the older I get the more and more I feel like the world is really painted in shades of grey. These days I feel so much like a fence sitter. I can easily argue both sides of so many arguments/discussions. I have a harder time coming down on one side or the other. I hear the word "intolerant" screaming in my head, a word that many Christians get labeled as. I don't want to be tolerant of things I should be tolerant of, yet so many issues are not black or white. And I'm really a black or white kind of person. It's yes or no, right or wrong, black or white. The shades of grey are an area of discomfort and uneasiness, yet so much a part of my life that I must become "tolerant" of the greyness!

On a side note, just in case you were wondering, we all survived the big earthquake that struck 120 miles from our home. No damage or loss of life! :) I love it that my boys got to experience the quake though. My youngest son was actually sitting outside under a tree at 5:37 a.m. when it happened. I couldn't wait for him to come running in to my bedroom all wide eyed and tell me his version of what happened.
