I know my T and her hubby have both pretty much rejected traditional forms of Christianity while holding on to some basic tenets. I am much more traditional in my Christian belief. She has never tried to convince me that I should reject my faith. She has only helped me to find my own voice and decide for myself what I believe and why. As a result I am on a stronger foundation concerning my faith.

While I am mostly liberal in my political belief, she is much much more liberal than I am. I do think I almost made her spit out her coffee when I told her some of the things I am more conservative about...LOL.

I think I was way more afraid of judgement than was warranted really. I am learning how to get along with others and perhaps even let them know I disagree with them in a healthy manner. That is a HUGE thing for me.

She is her, I am me. She has never once tried to change me. She has only tried to help me know myself and make my life easier.
