I'm reminded of a catchy song I happen to like whose lyrics are: "We live, we love, we forgive and never give up..."
I hope her bout (for lack of a better way to put it) doesn't turn worse or render worse results than anyone expected...

Yea, she is in a bad way to be acting like that in public. I told my other sister that I'm not angry at her, just disappointed. She doesn't know I saw her posts and I would never discuss it with her. When she left the Baptist Church she was criticizing them. I reminded her that she was on a journey when she found the Baptist Church, as was I, and there are probably people just as hungry for God there as she seemed to be. I guess she doesn't get that.
It's ridiculous to criticize others, well, unless they are in a group sacrificing their children in a bonfire.

I had been in church about a month or two, the church was very small at the time. I asked one of the ladies if she would like to go to lunch. She told me that we were all busy winning souls and didn't have time for things like that, I needed to grow up in the Lord and do my part. And again, this is my limited personal experience.

And that means what to my experience? You want to go to lunch with someone that is not too busy winning souls? I don't get it. What does that have to do with love and grace or my experience?

I have a sister who is bashing me and two of my other sisters on Facebook right now for what we believe. (She is reminding me of AFF - ) I'm like - Wow - you accuse the UPC of talking about other people and you are doing it right now on a public forum? Of course, I am not saying a word to her. I'll let her finish out her journey on her own. We are all on a journey in this life and shouldn't criticize where each person is at the moment. |
You can always unfriend her.

Good grief. And I thought I was feeling cranky.
