Ecclesiastesical

I love being in my room. I am amazed these days that I will leave company, conversation, food, TV, etc., and retreat to the aloneness of my room. This habit would have been unbelievable only a few months ago. I guess I'm in an Ecclesiastesical (like, in Ecclesiastes... no, i did not just misspell Ecclesiastical...) season. I am enjoying this time of independent focus. I am learning to need other people but not to be defined by my relationships with them. Life is a lot less threatening when I am defined by what I know I can depend on. Life is a lot less threatening in my room.

Truthophobia --> name-calling

from www.webster.com:

Main Entry: -phobe
Function: noun combining formEtymology: Greek -phobos fearing: one fearing or averse to (something specified)

I am 100% tired of being called a homophobe because I believe what the Bible says about sin. I am neither afraid of nor averse to homosexual individuals, including my homosexual friends. On the contrary, I enjoy their company, and I am almost certain they would say the same about me.

So, don't call me a phobe simply because you do not agree with me or because you do not understand me. I am not afraid of name-callers, either.
