I always love getting emails like this:

First and foremost, thank you for allowing me to journey with you on your spiritual path via this awesome website! I’m extremely grateful for your willingness to witness publicly the love God has for all people.

Second, I am a devout Independent Catholic Christian (not a member of the Roman Church but I believe the basic tenants of the Apostolic faith as stated in the Nicene Creed and many other tenants established by the Ecumenical Councils including Vatican Council II) and I am equally as offended by the ways in which you have been critcized by those who claim to follow the teachings of Christ and live the Catholic (Universal) faith. While I do not agree with many of your religious beliefs, I recognize that you are promoting something very valuable here: the need to think logically and challenge oneself in order to achieve spiritual growth and maturity.

I commend your efforts to promote the spiritual well-being of God’s people. Please know that you and your ministry are in my prayers.

It’s great hearing from people who may not agree with the particulars, but who see the value in what I do. Make me very excited to keep going.
