That comment gave David a lot of trouble.  He stopped writing for a while.  It took him a long time to think it through, and to finally decide “I’ve got to write…I will.”

Keep writing, Angie.  And Shaun.  And everyone who gets comments like that.

I appreciate that you are passionate and unapolegetic, and I don’t get the feeling that you are at all trying to be cool and trendy. </p> <p> And then - you are unafraid to fight when something is worth fighting about. </p> <p> And this is. Because… what that person said is untrue. And Angie is amazing and how she followed the call of God to India for His glory and the love of His children is awesome… and anything that discourages those goals is hindrance. </p> Shaun, I so appreciate you and this post.

And this is. Because… what that person said is untrue. And Angie is amazing and how she followed the call of God to India for His glory and the love of His children is awesome… and anything that discourages those goals is hindrance.

It’s dangerous to have children’s ministry people following you on your blog & twitter…In the words of the Donut Man,

“….Forty years went by,

And everyone who doubted died.

The Promised Land is shut to those afraid.

With Jericho in sight,

God will show us how to fight!

Joshua and Caleb lead the way!

Ten said, “No!  There are giants in the land!”

Two said, “Go!  God will lead us by the hand!”

Ten said, “No, we’re afraid as we can be!”

Two said, “Go!  God will give us victory!”

Thank you for going, Joshua, Caleb,

Angie, Shaun, and crew!  smile

But for either of your two theories, my answer is—yes.

There is a good mix of both Satan and mean/stupid people in this world.  And one can definitely pose as the other.
