Expecting perfection?

It’s really easy, isn’t it, to sit in God’s place and judge another person. But that is what bitterness is. Bitterness waits till the person admits their weakness, fault, sin, or mistake, and then pounces. But bitterness overlooks the same imperfections in its own host. I never expected such a violent reaction, but that’s what bitterness does. If you don’t nip it in the bud, it grows. And for the record, I really did like that necklace. Why do you think it was that I wore it everywhere that I went??? And the real offense, I believe, has been my trying to use this blog to settle misunderstandings and disagreements. If I have hurt you by airing dirty laundry here, I deeply apologize; and if you persist in unforgiveness, yet I will always forgive you. I know you’re not perfect; I also know I’m not, either. That is what friends are for. That is what mates are for. And that is what forgiveness is for. In Jesus’ Name, I forgive you, and I pray that He may forgive you as well.

Just For Clarity’s Sake

There was an old friend that I contacted shortly after my divorce. I knew it was wrong, because I had also gotten in touch briefly before the divorce, only making an already bad sitiuation worse; so I make no excuses for this behavior. “Missed her” won’t cut it. “Divorced now, so it doesn’t matter” doesn’t work, either. But with that said, I’d like to set the record straight.

V., you appear to have the impression that I’m still in communication with J.; this is not the case. I haven’t heard from her, seen her, or spoken to, written, or otherwise communicated with her, since late 2001. Furthermore, I have not heard a word about her in those 4 years. Anything I told you recently (because you asked) is old information. I have no desire to reintiate contact with her either.

So set your mind at ease.

When I Dream...

When I dream, all of my senses get involved. I have the sensation of color, 3-D, binaural sound, touch, temperature, pain, taste, and smell; in short, I have a virtual body. But there’s a few things I can do in my dreams that I can’t do in real life. I can fly, change the scenery, or even teleport from place to place. In my dreams I can call a person’s name, or just mention it in conversation with someone else, and they’ll show up. Are your dreams this vivid? This lucid? This fluid? Or am I one of only a handful?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to one and all, and I do mean all! God loves you, and so do I!
