Calvin in my Dreams

I am a shy Calvinist. I am, for the most part, a Calvinist. However, I do not find it necessary to force my beliefs on anyone. In high school I preached my version of truth with passion, but with little compassion. I have learned that God has not called me to argue theology. My acts of love will be visible, and my theological beliefs hidden in my heart and mind. I had a dream last night. I have no idea what I am to take away from the dream, but I thought I would share it.

Derek Loux was speaking. (Derek is coming to Fort Wayne to talk about the justice movement and adoption.) He was explaining to the crowd that he recently converted to Calvinism. (I have no idea if Derek is a Calvinist.) He began to explain why he decided to convert. He held out his hands and began to speak. "These hands aren't holy, aren't kind, aren't gracious, but I want them to be holy, kind, and gracious." Then I woke up.
