Two things...

1) I am right there with you concerning the conservative voice you have. I, too, have found myself amidst a minority here - but alas, as you state in this post, and I fully concur, "I don’t always agree with my fellow writers here, but I stand by their right to say whatever they want." I am absolutely right there with you.

Now...

2) I am a HUGE Garth fan...and this is one of my favorite songs. I am so thankful and grateful you focused on the message of this song, because truly that is the full intention of the message itself. Thank you for shedding light on this...thank you! We need it now, more than ever, in our society today - with so many differing voices and viewpoints. We need to be supportive of one another in how we see things, giving one another the grace God gives us all to grow and develop (even in our differences) in the timing He deems proper - not how we judge appropriate.
