From the beginning of my very first blog post I knew I might draw negative comments from time to time. Which I have, and I do not post those unless it adds something to think about. Its one thing to disagree, express your opinion, but totally another to be disagreeable and express hatred. Those kinds of comments are always deleted, never posted. Especially when its from an anonymous source! If your going to leave a hateful comment at least have the guts (I really wanna say balls) to own your words. Sometimes its an email, I do not respond to these as there is no room for dialogue. It would accomplish nothing.
The series of posts on relationships I just completed, has elicited a few responses mostly positive emails, but a couple of negative and down right hateful comments. Now I welcome all comments, I enjoy the dialogue with people. Sometimes I hear a viewpoint that helps me greatly or at least gives me something to think about. I draw the line at hate mail, I will not listen to or dignify with a response someone calling me or people who might read this blog names, and telling me I am cursed. Or that I need to repent, and receive healing, seek "re-parative therapy". One asked how someone like me can do the work I do without bringing condemnation to everyone I meet. There is no room in my life for hate. These from folk who call themselves christian. I won't judge you as you have judged me. God is our judge, and I resist the urge to preach at you through this blog, but I ask you how is that bearing fruit for the Lord and making a difference in a life? How is that edifying? The Scripture says "you shall know them by their LOVE"
My relationship posts talk about love, its often a thread of commonality that runs through the kinds of relationships I spoke about. Love is created by God, God is love, not hate.
Well enough said about this, I could write more but I will save that for my journal. I like my posts to be about positive things or at least how I'm dealing with negative aspects of this life.
Again I welcome your comments and emails, I enjoy the dialogue. If you have some positive insight or a question please submit a comment or email.
