Dan did have a lot of zeal, but that's what made him such a beautiful person. I don't blame him for why I left and actually I don't blame anyone. Like I said, I sort of got the concept of Christ in the earth, but my understanding is, it was supposed to be in all of us. Again we were suppose to be a zero with the lines erased so you were nothing and Christ was everything. At the foot of the cross the ground was level, and we all knelt at the foot of the cross and no one was above anyone else. I know there were commissions and all, but I finally had a hard time thinking more highly of one over another, even though I had that problem at first. I not going to deny that I had my favorites, but I thought that was just my immaturity. It was something I was trying to overcome, so to speak.
You know all those little things that seemed to get swept under the carpet and ignored. But then again, I have about as much perception as a rock, so I probably just couldn't see it. :)
