I want to give a shout out to my friends Tyler Susmilch, Royal Harris Carmen Michelle Nancy Zink Robert Duran and many others who dont always agree with me, my opinions, my posts, or what I say. They call me out and challenge me and engage in a ( What I consider) healthy dialogue . People often say I have no filter and to some extent thats true. I say what I feel and believe. That doesnt mean Im always right and Thank God for that 😃 . I do learn from this dialogue and continue to grow. I expose myself to judgement and scrutiny , and Im ok with that. During this terrible time in the Middle East I have lost more than one friend on FB, because of my loyalty to Israel . It reminds me of times in the past when some of my friends would ask me why Im still friends with others who seem borderline Racist . I would always tell them, who else is going to impact them in a way that may change their views? I use to be pro Death Penalty and Homophobic, but Im not either one of those anymore, because the light went on for me because of the continued and some times difficult and challenging conversations. So thank you for the continued conversations and for challenging me and my opinions. Its only when we stop, that we will fail to grow and find our common ground. Shalom
