Hi
all,
So
have you noticed it, too?? Almost felt like
“something was in the air” this past week – causing people
to act worse than usual…..?? [we often think
as IF that’s even possible!! And trust me, IT IS!!]
And
the wild weather doesn’t help anyone’s attitudes either!!
So
most of my Christian brother-sister interaction is
online. GOD KNOWS the reasons I’m not in church
right now, so I owe no one else an explanation.
That’s between Him & me.
Just
merely sharing some examples of past week, and sure, I’ll
include myself too.
My
dog I love SO MUCH, yet I had a temper tantrum, flare up
one hot night – yelling at him, stomping around here,
saying ALL I ever do is take care of him. [Since
he’s on his very, very last chapter, I’d say that’s pretty
much the truth.] Even so, I LOVE THE LITTLE
GUY!!!! And it’s not my intention to be bitter or
complaining even when my life & love is poured into a
dog! The dog I love the most! The dog I hope
to see first in heaven!! UNLESS he can stay around
here & actually, REALLY be raptured too!! I’d
love that!!
Next
up: one of my favorite commentators was “blocked”
out of a certain prophecy forum. I saw only his post
where he was going to take some time off b/c they refused
to post his info about zoom meetings, then 2 posts
following by ones who were in his corner. And late
in the day when I checked it again, next thing I know he’s
blocked. WOW!!! I so was not expecting
that!! [Derrick, I know you’re most likely reading
this, and I want you to know I always thought you were
extremely diplomatic & cordial & caring &
personable in ALL your posts & responses!! Even
when you didn’t necessarily agree with someone, still you
kept the boxing gloves in the closet & NEVER brought
them out. I appreciated that.]
I
was not privy to know what may’ve transpired after your
post & then the 2 others who responded. All I
know is I felt it was NOT FAIR that the mods did that to
you! My flesh bristled & I thought well just see
if I ever go back to that site! I have, of course,
merely to scan read the few posts which may interest
me. But it’s not like it was before. I feel
like it’s 3 heavy handed mods (or maybe one is heavy
handed….??) but after all it is their site &
they can do what they want. Though I can see &
understand why then later it all but comes to a
standstill, as the five others who post regularly get
tired of “talking just to hear themselves talking” at a
very slow-moving site! I’m sorry for the hurt
feelings on both sides!!!! Truly!!
THEN….
A day or 2 later, I just happened by someone else’s site –
run by one person but allows comments. One
commentator was EXTREMELY polite & cordial in saying
we (Christians) should probably distance ourselves
from new age doctors or else that may send the wrong
message to the world that we “approve” of them. It
was totally very polite & cordial!! But the
lady, owner of the site, came all unglued and unleashed
her inner pit bull on the lady!!! SIMPLY b/c the
lady didn’t fall in line & agree with every
word!!!! The lady (and one other) held their
ground, again VERY LOVINGLY!!!! Geri, you
simply need to step back & TAKE A
VACATION!!!!! Would have been totally
different if someone came along & said you’re old,
you’re fat, you’re ugly, and your mother’s feet
stink!!!! NO ONE SAID THAT!!!!! Both
those ladies were EXTREMELY Christian, kind & loving
in their comments!! And whether you agreed or
disagreed, you could have been cordial about it – rather
than condescending.
My
turn again (ha!) no, this time it wasn’t me
hollering at the dog. But I sought out some advice
from someone I shouldn’t have. Someone who’s a
Christian, but a VERY HARD NOSED Christian. I can
handle directness, and even appreciate it sometimes.
But it goes all over me for someone to SAY that my
understanding of Scripture is limited & my discernment
is non existent & that I don’t know the Bible at
all!!!!! THIS coming from “a Christian”!!!
Oh!! And further – that fasting was for the
Apostles ONLY!!!! Oh my, well I’m not going to go
into the boxing ring with her – Scripture actually frowns
on that!! Nor am I going to defend myself &
“stone the devil’s dogs”.
Plus
I should not have consulted her AT ALL. I generally
leave someone alone all together if they don’t believe all
this other crud (oops almost said crap) that’s been
happening in my life. In that case, then THEY are the
problem…. NOT ME!!!!!
Don’t
know about anyone else, but I cannot WAIT to be
1000% VINDICTED on Judgment Day!!!!!!! Then
all eyes will be opened & many, many jaws will
drop!!!!!!!
If
SHE doesn’t believe demons can actually show up in today’s
world – again, that’s HER problem!! What on earth
does she even think 2 Corinthians 11:15 is all about
then??
Summary:
Guess
all I am saying is as we get closer to the end, you’d
think & certainly hope that Christians would be
kinder, gentler & more loving to each
other???? Instead of butt whupping it up on
one another!!!!!!!!! Christian friend:
you’d better learn to ENCOURAGE YOURSELF in the
Lord!! Just as King David did. Because too
often, we have no one else to lean on!!! God and GOD
ALONE!!!!!!
About
the only thing to get excited about in today’s crazy world
– is, we will be out of it soon!!!!!
Meanwhile,
if you’ve been hollered at, banned, told you don’t know
what the hey you’re doing, that you know nothing of the
Bible, or nanner-nanner, “I’m closer to Jesus than YOU
ARE”!!! or WHATEVER you’ve endured, or maybe you’ve BEEN
the hollerer??...... Repent quickly, the Lord will forgive
you when you do……
And
I say let’s ROCK on outta’ here!!!!!!!
Still
holding onto hope for a just
any day ride Home to be with Jesus
forever!!!!!!!
