LOL. I'm MARRIED to one!

I try to be very sensitive to keeping religious talk off the
list. If somebody wants to know what or why I believe
something, I'm glad to discuss it privately, but "proselytising"
is not something I do here or in the workplace. As this is a
"global" list, there are many religions and cultures present. I
must respect others in this "neutral zone" as I wish others to
respect me.
I very much would like Wayne to share his story and purpose
behind his trips. He does these with conviction and with the
honest belief that he is doing what he is supposed to be doing.
Not only that, but he backs it up with his time, effort and
finances.
But if he were to share his story, I would hope that we as a
list body can accept what he writes without criticism of his
specific beliefs. When reading it, we need to substitute his
beliefs with our own beliefs and live our lives vicariously
through his journeys. Wayne and I have previously discussed his
trips off-list and they are most fascinating. He shares with
this list just a tiny fraction of the story.
