Hi there, my name is LisC. I am one of the faces in Craig's yesteryear photo on the main page. Looks like everything is pretty sorted in this section now, but I just wanted to add a comment or two.

To the anonymous person above, just wanted to say that Craig is definately not embarrassed about his beliefs. I am one of the people that Craig talked about who can attest to that. Craig and I both served missions for Christ, we were in the same country (Philippines) at the same time, but in different regions.

To be a missionary you have to be anything but embarrassed about your beliefs. It takes committment, dedication and genuine love for Christ to go out there and be willing to cop some of the flack that can be dished out to missionaries.

Anywayz, just wanted to add my small part to the blog to back up a friend of many, many years. V2T has already done a good job of backing Craig up on this point too.

Hi Anonymous,

Having come to know Craig through this medium, I would say that he is not at all embarrassed about his beliefs.

He is simply discerning regarding what he places on his blog on this subject.

Perhaps you are new to the blog and therefore unaware of previous entries and discussions. If you go though some of the archived entries you will find that Craig has indeed, from time to time, made some comments regarding what he believes.

He is not embarrassed - you will find that one of his entries speaks of his time as a missionary for his church. Another speaks of the recent death of the Mormon Prophet and what that means to him personally. He also made some fitting comments at Easter time.

Politics and religion are areas that Craig treats with caution on his blog for the reasons he has stated in the above response.

Nevertheless, this blog is very enjoyable and there are many of us who visit regularly.

I have very strong religious leanings and influences, though unlike many celebrities and people who outwardly espouse an alliance to God and all he does, I choose to keep my worship and oblations to God as a personal thing. That's all. Others could attest to me not "hiding" or being embarrassed about my religious persuasion here, though as with politics, few things can be more divisive than the subject of religion. It is my desire to find as many things as we can to unite people, not divide them. As I indicated in my response to your first post, I did express my gratitude to my maker, but believe that is something that does not need to be outwardly displayed, or spoken of to others. It is between God and I alone.

I thought you may not have been religious actually. Why do you choose not to publicise your belief in and gratitude for God? Do you not think that He is the one who has given you the talents and gifts that make your life so interesting and fun? Why not acknowledge Him for that? I don't understand why you would hide the reason for and source of all that is Good on your life...are you embarrassed?

Well put. Thank you so much for that. It IS remiss...

Well put. Thank you so much for that.
It IS remiss of me, though I did express my gratitude heavenward after the event. I generally do not publicise those more personal remarks and feelings but they were there and they are real to me. Thank you so much for acknowledging "His" hand in the near miss.

Sounds like you had a close call there.
You seem very thankful for the car makers.
But you make no mention of the hand of God in your near miss?
