I apologize
 

After reading several posts from months ago I feel the need to ask those that I offended to forgive me. I am sorry and I apologize for offending those that I did and you know who you are.
I feel very strongly about tithing - but really started that whole post with some humor about sliding to hell on a dime that you steal out of God's Dollar.
I really do not believe you will go to hell for not tithing and that God is full of Grace & Mercy and He is our only and final judge. I am a tither but I have no right to tell anyone they are going to hell for not tithing. Again, I apologize for posting all that. I am pretty passionate when I write and I know at times it is offensive even if I am trying to be humorous.

I know I offended some women who criticized Pastor Carroll Magruder. I just hate to see people putting out private conversations and airing their and others dirty laundry for everyone to see - especially when they do not have all the facts, but I still should have toned that all down. I know that hurting people hurt people and I should have tried to help heal those women instead of adding fuel to their fire. Again, I am sorry.

I do not want to debate or argue about any of this - it will not change anybodies mind and will only stir up people so - please do not expect to engage me on these matters.

I will try and do better. Those that know me know that I am not mean spirited and I love to laugh and cut up. From reading some of this today - it seems I let things get out of hand.
I really hope to do better.
Bless you!

I have noticed u being a whole lot nicer in your posts the last month or so, and to that I thank you.

(Tho I realized u were just raisin cane on much of the tithing talk before...)

Re: I apologize
 

I also noticed in a recent thread you seemed easier to talk to.

Thanks, I am trying! Maybe all my frustrations come to a head when I am on here - after I tuck my 3 year old in! LOL

AB, allow me to return the favor. I feel that in my own zeal, I failed to show thew grace and mercy of Christ in the seasoning of my words. I also apologize for my harsh tones with you.

No one knows what people are going through. Right now, my Mom is some better, abck at work on limited duty, but stays in horrible pain and is on meds. I am in an unstable job position not knowing when things could turn ugly again. It would be easy for me to turn hurtful, and it was. I apologize for how I behaved as well.

Thanks and I receive that. I know most of us have a lot on our shoulders and all of us (especially me) need to tone it down and contend for the Unity of the Brethren. I think most of us will try to be nicer and to love each other more!
Bless you my Brother!
