That is so sad. People like her give Christians a bad name. Believe
me, a real Christian would not treat a person like that, or be that
intolerant. It's hard to believe that people who claim to be of the
same faith that taught me as a child that "Jesus loves the little
children, all the children of the world" can be so bigoted. I'm so
glad my mother isn't like that. Don't worry, for every person like
her, there are so many more people who are better.

: the pressed flower art that Mom does - he brought her over they
: started looking at the table of henna books, kits, Indian jewelry
and
: amulets that I make. She told me that the "tattoo" on my hand

a

: got to the amulets (i make them out of clay and draw specific
designs
: ont he front with "incantations" on the back) these are for
: various "good" things.....to loose weight, bring love, luck, etc.
: Well she just about had a heart attack on the spot. I really don't
: practice any type of witchcraft...just thought they were
interesting
: and the kids would like them (which they do).
: She proceeded to ask if I was "Born again" well..sheesh...I'm a
: Christian but I don't know about all the "born again" stuff...I
told
: her I was a christian, she said "do you believe in God?" I answered
: honestly that yes I did, she asked If I knew who Jesus was....I
: said "he is the light, the path, and the way." She dropped her
: jaw....said, "well I like the stuff your mother does, but this
stuff
: is just sick" and huffed off. Her fiance was hysterical......
