Amen to that, Jane.  In my book, Uncensored Prayer, I revealed a lot of personal things about myself that left me open to attack.  Increasingly, my writing addresses discrimination based both on prejudice and ignorance.  I have been on the receiving end of discrimination because of my addictions, clinical depression, views of God, sexual history, and age as a woman over fifty.  So I have real empathy for all "Mike's".  But I can be just as blind and/or intolerant to someone not like me, especially if they attack me.  "Love your enemy" isn't one of my strongpoints.  But God is working in me about that.  My heart's desire is to treat people the way I want to be treated.  To put that into practice takes more than heart.  I need God's help and those of others to live like that.
