I do what I believe the Lord did, and that is walk in love with all mankind, which I don't see a lot of Christians doing.

I have to fight against being discouraged, because I don't want to be connected with people who are so intolerant of much of mankind like that. God loves us all. He really does. And I want to walk in love with people.
