Bible Note: Thanks Mark, No damage, sorry if I made it appear that way. A lot has been said of late regarding personal responsibility and the spiritual love that we should all be showing in our post. I never intend to insinuate that these things do not apply to me. They do, and they are not always obvious in my post. Like everyone, I have a personality and there are characteristics that are less than favorable. Being defensive is one of them. I can gladly say that those who know me personally can say that the Lord has done a lot to change me but I know that He still has a lot of work to do with me and I still have a lot of room for improvement. At the risk of sounding like I'm making excuses for myself I will say; another characteristic of mine is that I am very passionate. This can be both good and bad, productive and unproductive. I pray for the changes in me that only God can make, and ask for patients from my brother's and sister's on the forum. I hope for loving and kind redirection when necessary and hope to become better at giving the same in return. I look forward to continued learning experiences on the forum with you Mark. Jeff |
