Well, you basically quoted a bunch of obscure, convicting scripture and said "You know who you are". I'm not sure why there was a need to post it at all. Why do you feel a need to reprove anyone here, and if there is someone you feel a need to reprove, why do it publicly rather than sending them a private message?

I had a hard day last Thursday, emotionally and spiritually. Friday through this afternoon I was visiting friends and family out of town, about a 4 hour drive. It was a great weekend, it really was. But...I don't know. I just...My heart had to deal with things. I'm so good with my words right now. 
It was just a hard weekend emotionally and spiritually.
I feel like my heart is the color brown, where there are just all these emotions mixed together, into brown-ness, until I don't quite know what to do with them. It's as if I can't get them to separate to work on them. What I NEED to do is go to God with them. I'm in such a weird place with Him right now though.
My new favorite worship song is Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) by Hillsong, which I hadn't heard before this weekend but I can really relate to it and it has been stuck in my head ever since.

Good question.
Have you heard on this forum recently from some of the members that people are pm'ing them, & accusing them of all kinds of atrocities? I'm not gonna be blamed for that. People get banned for that. So, I did it anonymously, hoping only the right party would get the message.
I could have posted an anonymous scripture saying something to the effect that a person was good & alright, & probably got a bunch of 'likes' without a single complaint. I'm NOT a ear-tickling spiritual sugar-daddy that's gonna tell everybody they're alright regardless of how popular that would make me. I'm not in this for those things....
Just one scripture to reprove a single situation, & now it seems I've messed in this forum's sandbox.
I will be judged for my actions for what I do.... or for what I didn't do. I would like to be able to say then "I tried". It may not have been perfect, but at least I tried. None of those who disagreed with me even saw the sin, let alone deal with it.

There have been times when people here have been made aware of their sin (either privately or in public response to a post), and instantly saw their error, humbled themselves, and apologized, even thanking the one who was brave enough to address the situation. Why? Because it was done by a respected friend who cared about them, and they knew the heart behind the correction. I really think that makes all the difference. If a message is full of only accusation and condemnation, "and has not love", it is profitable for nothing.
With no name, no particular subject, no quote, & no personal call-on-the-carpet, how in the world can there be accusation & condemnation?
If the person is in-your-face & stubborn, the reproof has to be direct. I'm trying to say this as kind as I can....because you don't know who it is, you can't possibly know what it would take to get thru to them.
Please..... this wasn't meant to upset folks, or cause an argument with nice people like yourself.... Ill just leave this forum for a while & let everyone cool off.

I poked a frog because I thought it was dead. It wasn't. It hoppity-hopped right at me, which startled me (having thought it was dead and all) and I might've screamed. Yeah, I totally screamed. It was a crazy little zombie frog, it was momentarily terrifying. Now my son is scared of frogs, zombies, and the sandbox from whence zombie-frog hopped.

You gotta admit, Tintin, the dude has a point. ^.^ That forum is just right next door.
In local news, I finally got some sleep! I didn't sleep a wink all Saturday night and went through all day Sunday like some kind of zombie. I couldn't even get to sleep Sunday afternoon. But last night I slept like a log - long and hard. Now I feel more like a human.
Roh_Chris, I respectfully recommend dark chocolate. 85% cocoa or higher. Weeeeeeee, it'll get ya going!
