This was to be my final post but please hear me out. Instead, I would like to offer a heart felt apology to @oxrageous, @Durty South Swamp, @neteng, @Detroitgator , @Gator By Marriage, @stephenPE , @ltraz , @gatorev12 and ANY other Chatter member or viewer I may have offended. I am truly sorry.
As you know my faith is fundamental to who I am. I prayed long and hard before coming here today and I will admit I have not been a good representative of my Lord which has turned many of you off (a good many according to OX)
As Christians we are to let our light shine in goodness and as a beacon of hope. It is NOT to be an interrogation light or a detention camp spotlight. Though we are to hold sinners/sin accountable, it is to be done in love and support whenever possible not anger or hostility. I NEVER wanted to appear judgmental. It is not our/my place to judge but if it was (and it was) taken that way...Guilty as Charged.
I am easily triggered if I "feel" disrespected. I am a hot head and my fathers son. There are ALL kinds scriptures on that one. Here again I fall short, very short.
And please don't take the prayers as a guilt trip. I pray for my enemies as well as my friends and loved ones. I pray for my and others wisdom, health, success and most of all peace (peace of mind).
As for OX and Chatter, it's not perfect but who or what is. This is OX's creation and as a message boards go it's a darn good one. I come hear to clear my thoughts, relax, learn, share and to be with other Gators (preferably Conservatives). Hopefully, as Chatter Members we can make it even better.
I don't want to go all woe is me; some of you know that I am going through some HUGE personal trials BUT that's no excuse.
So OX, the Mods, Chatter again I apologize
Prayers,
