Why would we not be trying to upset anyone? Who don't we want to upset? You?
I realize I'm a little touchy about this, but I went round and round with someone else about this months ago, and I'm probably still irritated...  |
I do apologize for irritating you...if that is in fact what I did.
I understand that wisdom is justified of her children and my remarks were not intended to be critical in the least. I would never critisize anyone reaching for their world, who are doing their best as God gives the light to do it and is effective in what they do. "They that are wise shall win souls..."
It is just that I am an old timer who never learned to mince words or how to be politically correct or acceptable. I still use language that others find offensive. I am too old to change and have no interest in trying to change this late in my life.
I've been in churches that use laser lights, CO
2 fog and disco balls to win young folks. If it works, that's fine. It's just that I am not up to snuff with this modern way of thinking nor do I care to catch up.
So again, I did not mean to critisize or to irritate you.
