Dear Offended Christian, From a Very Tired Christian By John Pavlovitz Dear Offended Christian, I’m terribly sorry that your feelings are hurt again. I feel badly about that. None of us likes to be criticized, so I totally get it. I know I’ve said some pretty hard words to you recently, and maybe I’ve been somewhat less than “cheery” in my delivery, but that happens when you’re tired. And I am really tired: I’m tired of hearing you telling gay people that they can’t simultaneously be both gay and Christian. I’m tired of having to explain what “Transgender” means to adult Christian people, who I’m quite sure have Internet access and should know better by now that it ain’t “a guy in a dress”. I’m tired of arrogant pulpit bullies who believe they’re entitled to tell people where they can pee and who they can marry and whether they really love Jesus or not. I’m tired of you regularly dispensing damnation on the queer community, and then offering empty “thoughts and prayers” in the face of tragedy before resuming your normal schedule. I’m tired of you being more outraged by red coffee cups and department store restrooms than by poverty and racism and gun violence and our crumbling school system. I’m tired of gay people being accused of the kind of predatory behavior that straight men have been exhibiting, since the man cave was—an actual cave. I’m tired of reminding you that the number of times Jesus spoke about gender identity and sexual orientation in the Gospels—is zero. I’m tired of having to explain to people that although I am a Christian, that I’m not that type of Christian; the kind that is generous with damnation and stingy with Grace. I’m tired of LGBTQ teens cutting their forearms and jumping off buildings because they’re told by their church friends that God hates them, because their Christian parents told them, because their Christian pastors told them. I’m tired of followers of Jesus who don’t seem interested in cracking open a book to see what we’ve learned about the brain and the body in 2,000 years, or to realize that gender identity and sexual orientation don’t equal the word “homosexuality” in the Bible. I’m tired of all the time I have to spend undoing the damage the Church has done to queer kids and their families. I’m tired of religious folk who seem to want small government everywhere except the bedroom and bathroom. I’m tired of Scientific ignorance being treated as if it’s a Christian virtue. I’m tired of hearing you preach verbatim the gospel of Fox News. I’m tired of high-profile pastors blaming gay people for 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina and ISIS and child obesity. I’m tired of waiting for you to show up in this world and actually show the freakin’ love of Jesus to people the way he did and told you to, without excuses or caveats or theological tap dancing to avoid it. I’m tired of this wasteful, fruitless, mean-spirited, unprovoked, unbiblical attack on the LGBTQ community, that is squandering so much time and life and beauty in the name of a God who is supposedly Love. I’m tired of so many people believing that “Christian” and “bigot” are synonymous—and not disagreeing with them. I’m tired of a Church which seems to be so ambivalent toward the teachings and example of Jesus. I’m tired of a Christianity that is making me more and more embarrassed to be associated with it. So I get that your feelings are hurt. I understand that you’re offended, and that’s not my intention. But listen, if you’re going to tell a group of people that they’re going to Hell simply for existing, and you’re going to continually target those people through the Church and the Law and your social media accounts, don’t get angry with me when I tell you you’re being hateful and judgmental and ignorant. It could be worse. At least I’m not damning you for all eternity. Sincerely, A Very Tired Christian |

You enter under a vertical lift gate that looks like it is way too low, and it feels like entering a cave built into the side of a hill. After you exit the lock you are running along a channel on the side of the hill, looking down into the town below on the north side. Interesting perspective from a boat where you rarely look down at anything except water. With just two of us managing the boat there is unfortunately no time for photography. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lock+17+little+falls |

It is certainly as interesting as looking at pictures of a few boxes of ammo or hearing about mundane firearm tasks that could be done by 3d world teenagers. You find looking at map points interesting? Isn't that all geography is? ... at least if you do not look into what those points are all about. I agree that if you do not have the intellectual curiosity to delve deeper into the area, it probably would be boring. There probably are hundreds of videos about traveling the Erie Canal, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway. I've watched more than a few. This one, on the locks, was pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7_Hr3iCPls === That video does a good job of showing what it's like to enter lock 17 at Little Falls. You enter under a vertical lift gate that looks like it is way too low, and it feels like entering a cave built into the side of a hill. After you exit the lock you are running along a channel on the side of the hill, looking down into the town below on the north side.

We've transited the Pinopolis lock several times on our trips down to Charleston. It drops 75 feet from Lake Moultrie down to the Cooper River. It's pretty awe inspiring to be down at river level and look up at those doors holding a lake behind them! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pinopolis+locks |
