-grendel,
hi
I came back to write this today at the Lord's prompting..
I was thinking about what you wrote, here, about your parents. It was hurtful to read and hard to walk away from, without remembering it. And being pained and saddened by the memory of reading it. I'm very sorry you have had to see such awful, terrible pain in your life.
Truly.
God says in His Word 'as much as is in your (our) power be at peace with all men'. This was my goal today. At least, for my part. Others; it's between Him and them. Not them and me, anymore *s
I think my very brief time, on here, may've not created that climate:) (peace)
I'm gleaning from some of the replies, back then, I could've come off as hurtful, critical or unkind in someway to some (someone (s)) here, I'm sorry for that. Plus, I'm not that way,
so it only made being here a bit more unpleasant*s
When I originally shared here. I was coming out of some stuff (still am) and did not have a clear understanding of exactly how this forum works(ed). In addition, alot of stuff I said, about God (most of it) was not meant in any way but to share my own experiences-I also know, in feeling (unjustly) attacked here I may've gone off a bit annoyed and made a few comments I'd regret saying, here.
I'd like to extend an apology, again, to anyone who was in any way hurt or put off by a thing I may've said, or its tone. Also, often, we can, anyone, be misunderstood*s. It was never intended to become a contentious back and forth volleying of strife, or grief or judgement..
Since I am (needless to say) not 'God'*s
I accept quite freely His forgiveness for anything I may've said here that inadvertently, or not, offended anyone-also, I'd like to share I hold nothing against any of the very invisible *s folks who share here *s
P.s. Anyone would like to speak to me 'live' I am sometimes around, online, on yahoo chat. Though not online much anymore have no problem with anyone approaching me, here or there. For clean/civil chat
But please always try to think of what I try to when I think of groups of people. Something my Grandmother said..
Sounds simple but it's profound in its way. She said "There's good and bad in every.."
Every, she was referring to groups of people. Anyway, this note applies grendel and to anyone who feels it speaks to them.
That's about it *s. Also, someone here had mentioned,they thought I
'sounded like' paraphrase, don't have the quote
' a person in her 30s, who has had a recent hardship.' Actually, she/he is correct, kind of, though not the specifics mentioned, and I'm not sure all may find them so.Probably most * s
I am happily married, this I thank God for. And yes, there was some really hard stuff going on in/around my life, in the last few years. But,never my intention to 'put that' 'on' anyone here, or anywhere. At all.
As for me, I am over 35. And I don't call or think anyone is a"loser". I dont drink and I don't really like Elvis Presley,actually..*s.etc to the Christian stereotypes.(All of them..)
If anyone would like to speak with me to say 'hi' or about my faith let me know. If not, it's fine too *s
PP.'S Sorry if this was a bit lengthy, I felt the need to share. Also, this was not checked for 'style' or grammar *s Not much, anyway..*s
One more thing, I noticed someone named "The Truth" left (here) recently..
From what I could see he/she is about as close to 'my' way of thinking and faith as anyone I've seen here..
Also he/she seemd to,aparently,get into some similar jams about being judged etc. though maybe not as extreme for him/her.
I wish he/she had never left here..
It made me happy seeing what he/she wrote..At least someone here thought like me..I hope he/she comes back here..
so there's some autentically verbal..Christian around..
Have blessed beautiful lives and drive safely! *s
*waves bye
