She is LOVE! I certainly agree that we should not use the "R" word and any other expression that belittles or puts down another person.

I love it when you used the phrase..."you can rest assured it is not coming from a place of judgement but of awareness of how much it can hurt to hear it be thrown about in casual conversations." We all have areas in life that we feel strongly about and not to take anything away from Tess and this cause but for those of us who love our Lord Jesus Christ...the same heart striking, gut wrenching feeling overcomes us when we hear someone use His name in a derogatory way. He never did anything to hurt anyone, same as Tess, He never judged anyone, same as Tess, He gave all His love and compassion with asking anything but the same in return, same as Tess. God gave Tess to this world as a blessing. She has a lot to teach all of us...same as Jesus Christ. God bless you all.. cathyvinalgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062262263243018919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107348500321352911.post-81592254275158885772014-03-06T06:53:11.122-05:002014-03-06T06:53:11.122-05:00Wonderfully written.
