There'...Yes, indeed ... don't come sick to church. There's at least two people in one of my congregations right now whom, if you came to my church as ill as you are, you'd endanger their lives. They are also, by the way, careful when they come to church too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10838182.post-1167865532479451162007-01-03T15:05:00.000-08:002007-01-03T15:05:00.000-08:00Yup.

Do you still want us to come in?" When I gently (I hope!) point out that (a) a sick child will probably not test very well and (b) none of our staff, not to mention other clients and their families, want what your child has, some seem genuinely surprised. <BR/>People.

As someone who...LC, what a great discussion topic! As someone who has a compromised immune system myself, I wholeheartedly agree with your suggestions and wish more folks thought that way. I am shocked at some of the replies you received! I like your closing statement: "Honestly, sometimes the best way I can be a Christian is to avoid paying too much attention to Christians." Amen, sister. Blessings of good health to you. ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
