I can't quite believe what I just read...... Good afternoon to all - My name is Frances Christine Wright, and I am a 31 year-old woman who lives in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. I graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in Political Science from Kennesaw State University, and I did it in 3 years. My plans were to go immediately to law school, and then enter the political realm full time. That has not yet come to fruition, and frankly, I'm not so certain that it is what the LORD has in store for me anyway. I am learning more and more each day, and my prayer is that I will soon have new or renewed direction for my life. I have had a profile posted with this site for approximately 1 year, and although I have received many different types of comments to my blogs, never have I been so shocked by what I read as I was today. I have been absent from the BigChurch site for some time now, as my father is not physically well, having both orthopedic surgery and two minor heart attacks within the last 2 months - plus, my family was host to a 13 year-old German boy from August 9 - August 29, then we received 11 displaced family members from New Orleans and Mississippi who are literally homeless as a result of the hurricane. (you see, my father is one of 10 , all of whom live along the Gulf Coast, between New Orleans and Mississippi - in fact, my immediate family owns property in Mississippi and we have since learned that both homes have trees through them - but praise GOD - all of our members are safe and well!) Having a moment to myself, I decided to revisit this site and see what was 'going on.' I have no words for what I encountered on my blog - for never in my life have I been so brutally attacked for my appearance. For my beliefs, my position on particular issues - yes - but never before because of my appearance. It grieved me - it still grieves me - and it hurts tremendously - but I do know that this isn't about me anyway. I will say, however, that I was so very surprised to find that some of those with whom I have previously exchanged very positive commentary were in fact the most vocal in the attacks. I do not have to prove anything to any of those who have now brought very hurtful accusations against me - so I won't even try to prove anything. But I will admit to several things, for they are true. First, I admit that I am entirely female - I was born a female in Virginia Beach, VA., and there is a 'live birth' certificate that verifies what I now write. You are however entitled to believe whatever you wish. If you are convinced that I am a male because of my hairstyle, my features, my make-up, my manner of speech, well, I don't know what else to say other than you must not be accustomed to women who wear make-up, brush their hair, and speak with a command of the language. How sad for you if that is true, for I think it would be a great benefit to society if more women did actually act like women. Secondly, I have never worn a wig of any kind - never even tried one on. The hair you each see in my photos is what GOD gave me, minus the ever increasing gray, as I have been 'covering' the gray since I was 21. I was born with extremely dark, straight hair, and I actually still have my mother cut it for me. The bangs are my own - the hair is my own - I wash it everyday, and I even have what I consider 'bad hair days.' - Believe what you like, however, I hold nothing against you should you be convinced that my hair isn't real - but how petty to resort to such a focus in a time like this! I am not surprised to read that some would think it a wig - for many people over the years have asked me if it was a wig, especially when I worked in a retail establishment. They would say, "It just looks too perfect, too shiny." One of my two younger sisters even nick-named me "miss caucasian looks like Asian" when we were younger. Well, praise GOD that I have nice hair- but it seems as though this is a mixed blessing, for now there are those who doubt my very gender because of my hair. And of all things, they doubt it because it is too feminine? Go figure! Thirdly, I do wear make-up - and have done so for years, as my mother was a make-up artist with Merle Norman Cosmetics for many years. I have always enjoyed looking my best, whatever that may mean to me, and while I do understand that what I may consider to be an attractive look for my face may not be what you consider to be attractive, I don't see why you would claim that I am a man. Why would any of you say that? - Why would any of you even think such a thing? - I will further admit that although I certainly know that I needn't prove anything, everything in my flesh longs to provide such proof to you - because I want to defend myself against such hateful and spiteful remarks. My flesh longs to deliver name after name of those who would verify all that I write, my hair, my eyes, my speech patterns, my very gender! Family, friends, co-workers, ex-boyfriends, and yes, even a man whom I met from this very site! And before I forget, to those who believe that no one speaks or writes this way, I can assure you that indeed I do - and that those with whom I have personally corresponded know that I speak the truth. I have earned 100's on collegiate papers, most likely due in part to my mastery of the written / spoken word (English only, I'm afraid). I am now and have always been rather formal in my speech - and again, I could offer numerous witnesses to this claim - but it would serve no eternal purpose. I so want you to believe the truth about me that I am of my wounded flesh willing to substantiate my claims with verifiable proof, but my spirit knows better than to do such a thing - for to do so is to give place to a spirit of hateful division and doubt - these claims you all have made against me are not from GOD - and we do all know that! I will not do such a thing because my spirit knows that it is a very small thing to be attacked this way in light of how our LORD was attacked! How shameful for me to even be concerned with what others here think of me! - It runs counter to everything that my spirit knows to be true for me to whimper and cry over what some may think of me when the focus should never even be me!! The focus - my focus - should only be the LORD! I have posted many blogs here - each of them at the prompting and direction of the Holy Spirit. This one is no different, and I will admit that although my first thought was "just type" - my spirit was quickly convicted as to my need to first "just pray." I did - and I will continue to do so - for myself and my own reactions to these things - and for you and your spirit's reactions to what the LORD is saying to you even now. I know why some of you would write such things - and I also want you to know that I am not mad at you - I am not angry - I am hurt, and I am very disappointed that so many who bear our LORD's name upon their hearts would participate in such banter - but I do forgive each of you who posted. And I still welcome your commentary should I continue to post blogs. I suppose it is a given that considering these most recent developments I am now contemplating permanantly removing my profile - GOD has been glorified every time truth has been written and read - and I pray that He be glorified still even in my public humiliation! - for I am nothing, HE is everything! Sincerely, Frances

I am sorry that this has happened here Frances, I truly am. Perhaps the guilty parties will apoligize? I don't know, we shall see what they do next. GBU

Francis, I'm so sorry for these who do not use the brains God gave them. I think you're beautiful--and many others do too. I have no idea what people have said specifically--I have only seen one post on the blogs, which I didn't understand the point of--but obviously, there is an ulterior motive here--and it will be handled on God's terms. Many bloggers are having trouble with the concept of respect lately. Blessings to you, Sister--please don't leave

Frances I think that you are very beautiful and feminine both physically and spiritually! I have always especially liked your blogs! I am appalled that such would happen on this site! It sounds like some things that could happen maybe on others! It appears that some are jealous of you! I certainly hope that you will continue your blogs and I always look forward to them! You are so right, and you should not let this upset you or direct your paths away from God! I am so sorry to hear how your family has suffered! Marilyn Texas Senior Singles 2fitness In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:6

Frances is the sweetest woman I have met here on Big Church and I am pleased to say a God given friend. She is not only smart she is well read in God's word. She is very special and I stand with her in agreement. Matthew 18:19 "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. I am sorry that those who needed to comment felt that need and I am glad these Bible verses were your guide: Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. 1 Timothy 5:13 Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to. I thank You Lord that Your will is in this and it is not carried on and on... Proverbs 26:20 Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down. And so let it go. MarkEleven24

Frances, You know that I don't necc. agree with your stance or approach on issues on this site. BUT I do sooooo feel for you in all that has transpired here...I too have just come back after an absence...and I find it utterly appalling to see that people would write about you as though you are not 'here', as though you were a non-person and that they would make conclusive judgements with no abilitly to prove them. I don't know you...I don't know if they are right or wrong in their conjectures. YOU are the only one here that knows the truth...and the truth will set you free. I do see your desire to be all that God wants you to be, I have also seen you struggle recently with what His vision is for you. His WORD promises that He works ALL things together for good to those that love Him. So in that regard, I praise Him for what He is about to teach you through this and for the resulting deeper relationship with Him that you will have as you allow Him to come near you in this and heal the recesses of your heart and soul. I am so sorry that you are going through this...please know that I am praying for you. Hellen

Thank you all - each of you individually and as a collective representation of the Body - for standing as my brothers and sisters in the LORD! I know where these attacks orginated, and although my flesh was shocked and brutally surprised to read the things that had been written, my spirit knew immediately what was happening. Spiritual warfare is more evident today then it has ever been, and I should NOT have been surprised in the least. It just hurt, that's all. But what of it? - what of my hurt? - how small a hurt this is in comparison to what our LORD must feel when we shun HIM! When we question who HE is! I wonder how He feels when we pick apart HIS features (humility, obedience, faithfulness), HIS manner of speaking, or even HIS Lordship! I must now only ask forgiveness for even responding in defense of who I am, for our Messiah Himself never defended who He was and is when He was so wrongly accused! AND HE IS LORD! How dare I!!! this is most certainly not the testimony that I wish for myself, for it reflects my wounded flesh that is clinging to life, hoping for affirmation amidst the slander - when in fact my very calling as a follower of Christ is to die to myself! To be made low - to be made of no value in and of myself in order that HIS eternal value is had by the washing of His blood! I am called to consider myself blessed by such as this!!! I grieve for those who are swayed by the callings not of GOD - for those who are willing participants in things rooted in discord and slander - and yes, this even includes myself when I see that I am one of those participants. please join me in praying for those here on this site - as I see so many of you have already been doing! We do know that where truth is shared the enemy will engage - and we have seen it many times before. What would ever cause me to think myself so priveleged as to avoid such things? - I am deserving of worse then this when my life is compared to our LORD's, yet by HIS grace alone I have been set apart for HIS glory - as all who bear HIS name have been set apart! Let us instead rejoice in that Truth! - It isn't about us!!! Praise GOD - for I have been writing that since my first blog!!! It is ALL about HIM! Sincerely, Frances

God bless you Frances, I often think of the verse that says if there is any good or any virtue to think on these things. I have 5 girls under 15 and it bothers me to have information come around that one girl in the neighborhood will ask the others if they like our girls, and when their not around they will say they don't but yet they run with our kids as best of buddies through the week. I think some people have just been plain mean since they were kids and we thought they would grow out of it. I pray the best for your future plans, stand strong, God is on our side, You sound like a wonderful person, You have a caring heart, ... My girls were playing dress up yesterday with their friends. We live in a menonite area, 2 years ago I could shake off some of the mean comments some will say but today it's harder because I come to love so many of our neighbors. I think one of the motivater speakers once said it takes 12 good things to help push aside one bad comment or saying. So I say this as a Christian friend. My wife reads my stuff too and she is wonderful. 1. You're buetiful, You're Smart, You're witty, You're brave, You're Kind, You're Thoughtful, You have vision, You're sensitive, You're full of life, You're humble, You're a great writer, and you have the one true God , What more could you ask for. Wish you the best, God bless,, John

Hi there, Gloria, and FaithGirl - Hellen, and all others here - yes - Praise GOD I am alive! - and Praise HIM that you all are here as well! This wound is but a small taste of what our LORD experienced, so I will count myself blessed to partake in HIS sufferrings! We are told to do and expect as much - and I know that the hardest part is accepting this call - because everything within us, within our flesh - is bent on defending ourselves - defending that which we think ourselves entitled to - which in this case would be a certain type of treatment. On a natural level I would expect to be 'treated' with respect and kindness, not slander and nastiness - I would expect to be viewed as trustworthy and be believed in my statements, not doubted and labeled deceitful. In the natural world - my flesh as a woman would hope and expect to be admired and loved - not criticized and shunned. but as a new creature I am to live in the supernatural, not the natural - we all are to live in the Spirit - for our life is of the Spirit - NOT of the flesh! I am to put away that former self - and instead look only upon that which lives in HIM! Praise GOD - for all they can harm is the flesh! - and the truth is, what rotten flesh it is at times! I know enough about myself to know that I sin also - and that my flesh is no better even at its best than their flesh is at its worst! Remember, to live is Christ - to die is gain! I am to die to myself - so that HE alone lives through me - and if there remains in me any claim to MY rights - or what I deserve or what I think I am entitled to, then I have at that moment refused HIS purchase, I have dishonored HIS shed blood. for my life is no longer mine - but HIS! Do you see what miracle has occurred here, friends? Let us think on that - for it is lovely, and pure - and of the Father! But let us also be ever mindful that we must stand guard against the deception and division that will certainly show itself again! Again I say - may GOD alone be glorified through this endeavor - no matter what the cost to me - for this isn't about me!! Thank you all for your encouragement! - Let us continue to pray for those who have been brought low, that the LORD will restore them quickly unto Himself! I say this with humility - for I am no different - and at times I also yield to that which is not of HIM - we all do. Sincerely, Frances

Meow - I wanted to thank you for leaving a comment here - but I also wanted to share with you - in love (no pun intended there, you'll see!)- a disagreement. You write "Love is a two way street where no stone throwing is allowed." I see in Christ that it is exactly the opposite, for the truth is, Love is a decision to die to myself no matter how many stones are thrown against me - no matter how many spikes are driven through me - no matter how many thorns are pressed deep into my flesh - no matter how great the cross! You see, if we remember, we love, because HE first loved us! It was only a one way street for HIM - even unto those who would never return that love - and so it should be with us! But I do believe I understand what you mean - and I do not think we are on different pages here - do you? Again, Thank you for your presence. You are right - we will see completly when we are called home! Sincerely, Frances

Oh, for crying out loud, bluemoon! First of all, neither Frances nor I nor anyone else has to prove ANYTHING to YOU! Turn the other cheek? Sure, when there is not a biblical principle to be fulfilled. But Daniel fought back when God's people were called out. He stood alone when others fled. They said, oh, but we are too small! We should't fight! We should all just get along! Who are we to make waves with giants? Daniel stood his ground, why? Because God was on his side and Daniel stood for God. Standing for the Word is ALWAYS right. We can NEVER go wrong standing on the promises of God. You make accusations that YOU do not and cannot prove. I am standing on Bible. Everything I have ever read from Frances is Bible. I submit that with this post and in other slanderous ones, you put yourself in position of God--to announce that someone should prove anything to you or to denounce someone for taking a stance on Bible as it is written is blasphemous. Tell someone they are misinterpreting, fine. Tell someone you disagree with them, fine. Tell someone they are nuts for thinking so, fine. But tell someone they are lying when they are not or question personal aspects of them? Repugnant. I will say it again, bluemoon. You are not using the brain God gave you. At least I'm saying you have one. There is nothing evil in that phrase, and I daresay it fits pretty well. God gave you the ability to think--do so before saying another word. I have attacked nothing. I point out why I disagree with speaking in tongues and with modern day prophets. If you disagree, then say why, using scripture. We can agree to disagree without being hateful--or at least I can. I cannot see where you or any of the posse have been anything but prideful, arrogant, cliquish, or accusatory. I do not speak against the Holy Spirit. I speak against men who believe themselves superior to God's Word. Frances, I'm sorry for taking over your blog, but it needed to be said. I can take your chastisement--at least I know it will be done with Bible as the backbone.

True, Frances does not have to prove anything to anyone.....this is getting rather silly if you ask me.

GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN!!! YOU - SPONTANEOUS - ARE NO LONGER WELCOME TO POST ON MY BLOGS!! DO SO AGAIN, AND YOUR POST WILL BE DELETED! AFTER THAT, SHOULD YOU AGAIN POST ON MY BLOG IN THIS SPIRIT OF HATRED AND DISCORD YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED! I AM BEING MOST HOPEFUL IN THIS PROCESS THAT YOU AND OTHERS HERE WILL REPENT OF THIS EVIL PURSUIT THAT YOU HAVE EMBRACED - BUT I AM ALSO CHOSING TO EXERCISE WISDOM IN DENOUNCING SUCH EVIL AS IT PERSISTS!!! DO NOT VENTURE TO POST HERE AGAIN UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN LOOSED FROM THE CHAINS OF DARKNESS THAT HAVE YOU SO BOUND!

I hope Frances sues for slander and libel.

Patriot - you never need even ask - and you certainly needn't apologize for posting here! For I hope you know that if I were to become aware of such an attack upon another's blog - I would do just as you have done! I agree with you entirely - as I usually do, which I know is a bother to many here - but that is their problem! There are so many here that have been misled - so many who are now bound within the evil grasp of our enemy - that even more than correction they need prayer! But they do also need the correction!!!! - AMEN! We all need correction when we walk in sin! I will be fine - I know this - for I know the Truth - and I know that if GOD is for me, there is none that can stand victoriously against me! Better yet - I am for GOD - and I know that no matter what happens to me personally, HE is alive! - and HE is KING! and HE is my Father! - I am secure! And I am so blessed - for I have friends here - you, and so many others! - Praise GOD for how He ministers to us in our trials! Thank you for your presence - and for your boldness! For it is rooted in Truth! Sincerely, Frances

Ahhh, crap. Look what I've started. I can and do agree with blue moon, and spontaneous. There are a lot of people out there who like to deceive those of us whom are likely to believe. All I did was make an observation. Kudos for all of your accomplishments, Frank, I Went to the same school and have gotten the same degrees. Your new pic looks like there is an adams apple, though.....

9/14/2005 7:24 am |
Inspector: There appears to be a message written to you on Friendlychat's blog, have you seen it yet?
| ||
|
No, Inspector - you didn't merely "make an observation." What you did was levy a false claim against me without due cause, the result of which has now brought me into disrepute. That is called SLANDER, and it is wrong! Do not post here again. Frances

hmmmm...I'm new to this blog. I've read what has been going on. You go girl! You are a very attractive young female. I've seen your profile in passing a few times over the last year. I always considered your gender to be obvious. Don't ever let an attack from the enemy keep you from doing your Father's work. I am very impressed with your responses to the "world". You walk by the spirit daily. If only more girls where like you! Be strong in Him and always press on. I can tell this is how you usually live...Bravo!

9/15/2005 8:46 pm |
who the heck cares if she's a man or a woman! It is apparent to me no one joins this sight to fall in love and get married. It's all about people shoving their personal spiritual agendas down everyone elses throats as far as I have seen. As we Georgia girls would say- ya'll need to shut up and grow up! Jesus did'nt care that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. And when it came right down to it--who was the most loyal of his followers? We are not the judge, folks! Frances-rock on and do your thing. You look like a chick to me and a lot of us would die to have cheek bones like yours. Have'nt read your opinions but everyone should keep in mind they are just that, OPINIONS! "There is only one judge and that's God, so chill and let my Father do his job"--from the song "Somebody's Getting' on My Nerves by Salt and Pepa Okay-now you guys can judge me for listening to music (albeit old school). Let your freak flags fly!

good evening - I wish to thank some of you here - for you have offered a great deal of encouragement to me during this trial - which I will count as joy! Faithgirl - thank you for standing in the gap for me, and for your willingness to remain steadfast in your belief that I am who I claim to be - for it is truth! Webling - well, you already know how blessed I have been by your presence - and how the LORD is still using you to minister to me! Tempest - I'm so glad that you decided to post! - It is nice to meet you - in as much as we can consider ourselves 'introduced.' - you are correct, in that what you see here is how I usually am - but that even includes the harsh flesh that shouldn't be present (I am a very strong woman, and that is not a blessing when used in the flesh!) Thank you for your compliments - it means a great deal in light of what some here have written. Rcr86, we have never met, but you have most definitely been used of our Father to minister to me today! - Thank you for your kindness, and for your encouragemnt to "keep the faith!" - There is nothing else for me to do BUT that!! And Praise GOD that He gave me that faith! I hope you will visit again! Tml - thank you for your apology, I do accept it - and thank you for the recognition that you made a bad judgment call. Hopefully you will more carefully consider the influential company you keep, for "bad company corrupts good morals" - and there was nothing morally correct in what was happening here. To all: I have just come from the emergency vet - and my 4 year old cat is still there - having all sorts of bloodwork and tests run as I type this. My heart is so broken at the thought of losing him - and I am asking for your prayers - first that our Father would heal him - and secondly that I would be given eyes to see that He has already blessed me with the strength to endure this trial also! I am very sad right now - for these cats are like children to me - but I know that God knows even when a sparrow falls! So, I will trust Him! Sincerely, Frances

Good Lord where have we come that a man who espouses to follow the God of Job would assail our sister in such a way. Francis I must say the strength you demonstrate is impressive. Keep the faith.

Oby - and Existenz, how I am thankful for your presence! Your encouragemnet is such a blessing to me - for at no time during this trial has the LORD left me without an uplifting word from one of my fellow BigChurch bloggers! I hope you all know how much I appreciate your support - and how I pray for blessings upon each of you for standing for truth! Oby - I do not know what the LORD's plans are for my continued presence here on teh blogs - but as I am led to post, I assure you, I will post! In the mean time, please visit with me here whenever you like!- simply share with me what is on your heart, and I will do the same! We can jointly grow - for "As iron sharpens iron...." I look forward to learning with you! Existenz - it is nice to "meet" you - and even nicer still to read that you do not doubt who I am! You know - the same sin that has shown its ugly face here in the form of these attacks is also the same sin that we demonstrate any time we walk according to OUR flesh - or yield to whatever unrighteous authority happens to be in OUR life - mind you - there is no excuse for any of us - and I am certainly not offering an excuse for those who have herein levied such nastiness against me. I suppose I am just hoping to remain ever cognizant of my own weak flesh - so as to not become judgmental of those who have been so hurtful. Thank you for the call to remain faithful - I pray for increased faith - knowing that I am simultaneously asking for the testing of my faith as well! there can't be growth without the stretching! I hope to hear more from you in the future! Sincerely, Frances

Dear Francis; your blog is the first one I came accross visiting this site... I was attempting to discover the purpose of the "blog". In reading your request for prayer on behalf of your cat --- I was thinking --"now there is some one that cares" -- I did as your requested and raised Gods animal you have cared for and loved before Him -- I was drawn into reading more because of your style but more importantly the spirit that motivates such compassion for even the cats in your care.... I too have the Spirit of the Lord living within me--- I was not surprised at the attacks you have endured--- Your very apearence displays that you pay attention to detail and excelence is apart of your life--- (doing all things as if unto the Lord) I was reflecting on the many times I have been attacked for being unusuall in the way I conduct myself in life and buissness all due to esteeming My Lords Word. Be of good cheer for the world hated Jesus the very Son of God and it should be of no surprise that any --worldly remnants left in the belivers life will hate also? If we give place to the roaring lion will he not devoure? We have been commanded to think on things of beautie things worthy of praise --goodness... I pray that the Lord will expose the sin for what it is and bring us to repentance and a saving place of restoration... We need to be mindfull of our Lords estate and His interests..esteeming the things He values.. Thank you for suffering for being His-- with poise and steadfastness reflecting the nature of Jesus .. Our God is watching.. A brother in Christ Wane

Before the internet, we used bulletin boards. Dial BBS. They are like a house with rooms where everyone leave message. Women we not a large part of the BBS areas. When I ran a BBS I was accused of being a "man". Back in those days, we did not have pictures as we do now. The strange part of this whole mess is why? What does this have to do with anything? If she wanted she could put a picture of a supermodel up and say it is her! Let me twist something, how do we know all of you are men? We know there is air, we can't see it. However, we do know it is there. Do we need proof to know we are live and god created us? Can we see God? Ponder some of these questions. This happened to me and it was hurtful then. I know how these feelings, they hurt. Sorry to say people in this world want to stir the pot. My main wish is everyone could live in harmony and peace. We are all very much men and women here. My hope is that we can all act as human beings.

To be perfectly frank with you Frances and from my own observations over the years I have witnessed and experienced the most despicable, conceited and rudest behaviour from fellow christians. My heathen friends put them to shame with their more civilised behaviour that they would make better christians. One need not look far look at how some behave on Big Church chat and the only conclusion I can reach is that they must be like that in their church unless of course they are these pious, two-faced self-rigtheous sorts that pervade every congregation I have been a member of. Frances, ignore those that can only launch personal attacks, they are normally gutless wonders who delude themselves into thinking that they big, smart and strong when in fact they are weak and ineffectual...does not come as any surprise that they are still single. Very disappointing that you have had to defend yourself in such a manner. What is wrong with christians nowadays? Cheers Cuzzies

WOW! this really blows my mind! I've been on this site all of about a week and now I know to be very careful! Very sad commnetary. I have so many thoughts about the demonic thinking that was written about this woman that she had to read about herself on a christian site makes me sick! I was on another site not long ago not geared toward christianity and not ever such rediculous comments were made. This really goes to show that just because some claim Jesus name dosent mean they have him in their heart. God will say to some in judgement.."I never KNEW YOU" Why? They didnt have the heart of God. Let me say Francis, that all I thought when I saw your photo was a bit of envy! Your obviously very well put together. I, nor anyone else should give one hoot whether your hair is real or not!( well I suppose some men may care) I never thought it wasnt. I too wear makeup and always will, I have not been blessed with alot of natural color. Also those that live in your area tend to be more well kempt all around. You do NOT have to prove anything. Those who wish to get to know you will see who you are. And I for one would be proud to be your friend. As far as the way you may write or speak nothing short of your manner would be expected anyway! For petes sake your in a political arena and need to have great command in communication. I myself do not talk like many others. Thank goodness. Does that make me gay or something? Maybe I should check, maybe I'm just not aware of it! Francis,This can be useful to you in the future for your career.How? To be able to be sympathetic to potential clients when they've been mistreated and falsely accused. You're in good company,Jesus was falsely accused. These people who have the gual to literally write about someone so negative on a christian site are in need of some heart sugery! And I would be bold enough to say probably jealous or/and insecure. And BLUE, please ignore the wink I sent you. You may think your called of God, but shame on you to even SUGGEST that you would phone another pastor from 1/2 way around the world to make an issue of such balony! APPAULING! I know very well what it is like to be falsely accused of horrendous things. Once its out there, those cruel words cannot be reclaimed, the thouhts are out there in peoples minds. I'm almost ashamed that I'm so upset, but we are allowed at times to defend ourselves and others. That is precisely why Jesus came to this earth, to defend the character of the Father,as well as save us. On the last day of this earth that is what He will ultimately do, defend His honor and His people, and reclaim this old worn out world. What a phenominal day that will be! Hang in there sweetie, I would'nt blame you if you left this site, however,this too shall pass. This site just may need you!

Francis , I wrote a lengthly responce to this blog,and I'm disappointed that it didnt show up. I will say here that it is shocking to me that on a public spiritual site there would be such cruel and derrogatory statements made about anyone. These are people that must be jealous and/or insecure and have nothing much more to do in their lives than to be negative.These people need spiritual heart surgery.On judgement day there are those who come to Jesus and say we did this in your name and did that...He will respond "I never knew you"....Why? Becasue they do not have the heart of God. You do not need to PROVE anything here. Those that really want to get to know you will know the truth. Your just too pretty and eduacted for those who are insecure. How else do they expect an educated person in the legal system to communicate anyway! Do they prefer fools? I dont speak in the normal manner that others do much of the time either. Does that make me gay? Boy, maybe I should check! I'm afraid after reading your blog and being on this site a very short time I realize i will either lay low or be aware that one has to be careful. Too bad! I was on a more secular site that was not spiritully based and I never read anything so degrading. One last comment, for any minister who thinks he should take the time and trouble to call your pastor to stir the pot is not the kind of man I would care to listen to. Its APPAULING! He should be so ashamed of himself! You can use this sometime in your carrier when you come to a client that is falsely accused and empathize with them. Remember too that Jesus was falsely accused. Your in good company! p.s. how did it go with your cat? since I'm a standard member I cannot send you an email if you'like a freind pls feel free to write me. LILY

My Dear Francis, After heaving read all of this blog to this point I have to say that I don't really think that this guy is worth getting all upset over. In fact he basically posted negative statements on some of my blogs and I immediately Banned Him from ever posting to any of my Blogs. I just love the Ignore button and the Ban button, Don't you? About my life. My father was an Air Force Officer in Intelligence. He was trained to not let things get to him so that he could maintain a stable mindset in order to be effective in providing Adequate National Security. He trained his children in similiar ways. I still am effected, however, not much anymore. Mostly, I just laugh at the various idiots out there. Our family grew up in a very weird environment. Years ago, while my parents going to a Lutheran Church, the Pastor took time away from his Wife's child birth to Excommunicate our family from the Lutheran Denonimation. But God had his revenge, His cild was born the morning of Arpil First. The night before, when he was excommunicating us, My father received a word from the Lord that his Child would be an April Fools Baby. My Father told him that he would be seen April First. Interestingly, the Pastor knew exactly what that meant. My Father did not know what it meant. The pastor said "No! My Child Will Not Be born on April First." Well his child was born April First during the very hours that he was at our house condenming our family. When we think about it we just have to laugh. For his very child will always be a reminder of what kind of bad person he is. Later when I was in High School students kept coming up to me and asking me why "My family and I worshipped Satan." They said they were told that we were excommunicated because we were Satan Worshipers. It became evident that the pastor could not keep a secret and was probably the instigator of the whole rumor mill. The pain I incurred from this inccident was terrible. Interestingly, it did not bother my parents or my sister. But what other people think of me was a big deal. I can see that this is a big deal for you too. As a politician, I hope you realize that this kind of slander is going to be common. Learn to love it and to laugh at it. I am still learning this lessson. After all it is so petty that it is just laughable. On another note, after having read some of your Blogs, I need to say that I just love your internal fire. Klinton

By the way to clarify things, we never have, nor never will, worship satan.

All you have to do is look at the profiles of the people who slander you and it becomes evident what idiots they are.

May the Lord Bless you and keep you, May the Lord make His face shine upon you And be gracious to you, May the Lord life His countenance upon you And give you much, much peace God Bless You, sister, keep up the good fight, cheers May the Lord bless you and keep you

Good evening, and to ALL who have been so very kind in encouraging me and loving me through words of uplifting truth, thank you! Your presence has been a great blessing, and while I have been absent from posting for a time, your thoughts and prayers have been a regular source of enjoyment and edification! As for the offensive and painful remarks that some had posted, I am long over the hurt - and although I do understand the place of defensive support that many of you have taken, I ask only that we not grieve the Spirit of GOD by slandering others. Instead, let us all use our time and energies putting forth that which glorifies the LORD - including uplifting and edifying exchanges! Believe me, I do know how difficult it is to look past the wrong that was committed, but I would like to share with you all that some of those who had presented false claims about me did eventually contact me privately (and even publically) to apologize, which I am so very thankful to report! I do indeed forgive them - even those who did not offer an apology - for I understand that forgivness is not approval - However, it is my responsibility as a Believer to die to myself in all things - including being sinned against - just as our LORD did upon the cross. Thank you all for defending me- for it is a very strong statement of loyalty unto Truth that you would each do such a thing. After all, none of you actually know me, yet you were willing to put yourself in harms way, so to speak, by what you did. I so very much appreciate it, and I wanted to let you all know that I consider myself quite blessed, in fact, to have even been attacked in that manner! (although I certainly didn't feel that way at first!) As for those who instigated and continued in the slander, do continue to pray for them - but pray for the rest of us as well - for it is just as easy to attempt to justify the same type of behavior in the name of defense as it is to believe ourselves justified in the offense! I expect to return to the blogs soon, as the LORD has graciously presented new lessons in my life which I am still learning about, but would like to share with you all! I look forward to hearing from you all soon! Sincerely, Frances

It's sad to hear that even on a site such as this, a person would attack one's personhood. Though it wasn't necessary for you to do so, it would appear that you addressed that attack in a very professional manner, when some might fall into the email barrage of ugliness. Hold your head up and be proud... You are everything God intended you to be... A Beautiful Child of God. In His Love, Sue

Seriously, if someone said what you allege, they aren't particularly observant. I accept what you say as accurate. In addition, I point out, that your neck, clearly in view in the photo at the top of this entry, is that of a woman. Unambiguously. I would challenge anyone to show me a man with a neck like that. (nice looking woman, in my personal opinion.)
