Conflicting Convictions Janet Kuypers 07/11/11 I’ve seen the life you’ve led I’ve seen the man you loved        who had a girlfriend back at home I’ve heard you talk about how men suck I’ve seen you on that roller-coaster         over the years I’ve seen you espouse one set of beliefs then you’ve told me while engaged to one man that you’ve fallen for a coworker and how you love him but but you need the security of what you’ve been espousing (whether or not you believe it) and no I wouldn’t be a part of your union in a church, no less to a nice guy who didn’t match both sets of your beliefs call me what you will but I’ve seen the life you’ve led and I knew there would be a breakdown with your conflicting convictions and your life
