thanks, creedsister and shiela, for the kind words, and thanks to all for the welcome.....
i realize CREED is not a Christian band...i was expressing their spiritual meaning and faith parallels for my life, not passing them off as the band's intent.
also, i'm not blaming mark. i have nothing but admiration and respect for him. my post stated that i felt hurt by his comments because he seemed to be "breaking ranks" if the comments are true, especially considering he gave no indication of such things during his last, most recent radio interview....of course, no one but scott, mark, and flip know just what is happening. i want only the best for them all. i just want some respect and forgiveness thrown stapp's way, too.
blessings to all,
