GRRRRR!!!!!
That's usually the worst thing you'll see from me, even when the three dudes who love to argue with me show up to argue. :)
Most people comment in public or in private to me about how much grace I seem to have in dealing with these....dudes. That's not me, folks. I would love to give them all "what for" but God stops me by reminding me that others are watching my reaction to see if I can live up to what I claim.
Terms of service rules say that I cannot post a rant about a specific person, so I won't name names. I wouldn't anyway because even those those dudes - and okay there is an occasional dudette, too - sometimes drive me nuts, I wouldn't want my friends to show up on their posts and leave muddy footprints that I wouldn't leave myself.
Some say that I should just post about sunshine and roses if I only want sunshiney comments. But sometimes, even though I don't want to, I feel lead to discuss topics that might otherwise go unnoticed.
So, right now, I'm GRRRRRRRing because one of the dudes just left a comment on a post that has nothing to do what that post. He's upset because I deleted his comments elsewhere and then changed the setting so that only friends could comment there. So he found another post where he could harass me.
Perhaps he'll show up here as well, or perhaps all three of the dudes who follow me around will show up, giving themselves away once more. I think two of the three did the last time I vented about this.
If they're trying to get me to stop posting, they're going about it the wrong way. :) I'm pretty stubborn. Conflict has never made me run for the hills, but here at Gather, I do find myslef disappearing for a while while I consult with the Creator about how and whether I should respond. And that's a good thing.
Excuse me for a while, while I sit here and GRRRRR and then pray...for patience. That has never been my virtue, so if you want to join me in asking God to give me a big portion patience today, I welcome your help.

I just think it's funny that they wasted so much time doing such things. I'm not going to concern myself with such immature people. I have better things to do. Just as I'm sure you do.
You do lead the way with your grace and patience!!
I watched a video yesterday and boy was it good.
it made me think about what my life was like when i first got a taste of the spirit. anyhow it reminded my of a biblical story and the struggles of a man whose love for God was often at odds with his worldly roll as a leader.
this guy was often in a state of conflict with the world around him and sometime he made things even worse, but in the end he fulfilled his destiny.
i'm sure this guy is just a jerk and doesn't have a biblical perspective.
but it isn't happening
I noticed on your last post that I commented on the conversation between the guys just kind of took over your post. In the end, it gets to be too much. I think it would serve them better to post their opinion and address anything with you, but to keep going back and forth with eachother doesn't really add to YOUR post --- and oftentime they take rabbit trails that have nothing to do with it. Anyway... keep the faith. You are inspiring to those of us who are trying to learn how to deal with opposition/hate/differences of opinion and lots of interesting people here on Gather!
Dudette?
hahahah. that's soooo 80s!
I have to remember that being here on Gather you meat all kinds
so thats why i would never delete a persons spiritual input on a post that embraces salvation.
after all i to am a roll model.
