Apology…

This apology may be too late. Why an apology? I wrote what I thought was a humorous little story using a play on words about a month ago. Apparently it was more of an affront to people’s sensibilities than a tickling of their funny bone. After a bit of commenting back and forth with one writer I let the story stand so people could see the conversation. A week ago I removed the post all together. Today, while talking it over with the Lord I got an “I tried to tell you” tap in my spirit. I should have known better than to post the story. So I want to apologize to any and all people who were offended by the piece I wrote. It has taught me that I must be more circumspect about the things I share.

    Hmmm…I guess I missed the whole thing. You haven’t offended me!

    Don’t you hate those “I told you so” moments?

    Me too. 🙂

    Joe, I appreciate your candidness in posting this blog. Not that I was offended—-I wasn’t—–I was disappointed that you would do it. I wanted to reply and didn’t know how to, without hurting your feelings. Thanks to the Holy Spirit: He moved your one respondent to find the right words. Thanks to the Holy Spirit that He brought you to this point.
    Love ya’—–brotherly, of course.

  3. Hi Don, I can see where you could be at a loss for words. I have come across quite a few sites myself where something “not good for the body” was written. In cases like that I follow the biblical example of going to my “brother” privately, usually email if on the internet, and see if there can be a correction or other appropriate response.

    Those who write are always under the judgment of those who read. Sometimes we need a “brother or sisiter” to get through to us when we can’t hear the Spirit’s still small voice.
