    I found a link to this on Becky's site and it is a great read.

    http://www.familyacceptance.org/home.html

    I love reading these things. And there are some great points in there! Jesus accepting all 'outcasts' and making them feel welcome. There was a good quote in there as well.

    "St. Francis of Assisi's serenity prayer starts with the line "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.""

    I must admit, the way it is written comes across as very harsh and straight to the point.

    A must read!:thumbsup:

    Joey wondered who was credited with first saying the serenit prayer - apparently it was St. Francis of Assisi.
