J, I'd been wondering where you were. I'm sorry I missed your post. If you look back at the posts during that time, you'll notice I didn't make any. I was away on business. Then when I came back, I purposely avoided what seemed to be a flame war. I think your Calling All Angels post was the first one I replied to when I returned. Please, if you'd like, e-mail me privately. I just read your Sixth Sense post. I understand some of what you must've been feeling. Just today someone brought up something in my past and I said, "Would it make you happy if I killed myself today since you think that one mistake has already ended my life and I can't do any better?!" Of course, I'm far from ever thinking about killing myself. But it's very upsetting when people label us for the rest of our lives based on one mistake -- as if we can't overcome it and do even greater things. Look at David in the Bible. He made a ton of very bad mistakes and STILL was a man after God's own heart! From afar off, David saw Bathsheba, and sinned with her. A man died. A child was taken. David was broken. The mirror of desire, smashed. And yet, God restored David. My prayers are with you, J, now more than ever, for your restoration... whatever that might be... let's talk. Peace and love in Christ, Splash |
