Friends,
You may recognize me from awhile back, when I was visiting this site regularly. I stopped doing so for some time because I got worried about how I was coming across. I began to wonder if my posts were beginning to sound authorative and overbearing.
That was not, and is not, my intention. I have strong opinions (DUH!) but I am not trying to force them on anyone else. I try to follow the Apostle, Paul's instruction to, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up,..." (1 Thessalonians 5:11) and "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." (Ephesians 4:29)
Here is my request. If I say anything that offends you, or if any of you notice that I am beginning to sound like a "know-it-all", please call me on it. Send me a private message, or speak your mind in whatever thread my post happens to appear.
It is truly not my wish to offend anyone, but I do feel called to "speak the truth in love".
Thanks for your help and God bless you all.
