I sincerely apologize to the Admin...

Greater than that though and more specifically, I want to apologize to Brother Epley, Pastor Poster and anyone else whom I attacked through my posts. It was un-Christlike, rude and plumb childish and I sincerely apologize to you from the depths of my heart. I'm the kind of guy who likes to push the envelope sometimes simply for the sake of the response and I pushed it entirely too far and was very ugly in the process. I pray that you will all please forgive me.

There are many on here whom I will never agree with, nor will you agree with me, but I vow from this day forth to refrain from attacking you or your particular organization. If I can't express my perspective in a rational way that brings glory to my Lord, then I will refrain from responding at all.

I pray that you will forgive me... If you want me to leave this forum, please let me know and if the response is great enough, I'll accept it and move on. However, my repentance is sincere and I pray that you'll accept it.

Thanks and may God bless you all...

It takes a big person to say what you said in the way you said it. I think it is easy for all of us to get a little carried away in the forum environment. I have had to adjust myself several times as well.

God Bless,

Glad you are back, Brother. I know exactly what can happen when we get caught up in all this back and forth, so know that you are forgiven by the good looking fat guy in Indiana. I've been banned a few times myself. :D
