Religion Moderator, some personal remarks follow. You may want to delete this post.
I’m not upset with NGZ. I’ve been known to make a number of sharp remarks in the past, and I am not innocent, so it may be understandable that NGZ does not think I am sincere.
At one time, I thought Alamo-Girl was insincere and posted that. So, again, I state that I am not innocent and do not blame NGZ. But I was sincere, and still am, in my prayers.
Part of why I opus’ed last Nov. 5 was to get away from the really ugly posts here on open threads. That’s what I meant about saying, above, that the open threads can be an occasion of sin, or even just a near occasion of sin.
So. I think I’ll spend the evening reading. It will be much more pleasant. I am, to put it mildly, sick and tired of this dreadful thread.
Some really excellent posts on it, some that have been very uplifting. I may check in later so there’s not so much to catch up on, tomorrow.
NGR, even though you are mistaken, I understand why you posted what you did, to me. Again, may God bless you in all ways, with peace and safety, with love and laughter, in the Holy Name of Christ my Savior, I pray this for you, and for everyone on the thread.
Oh—Alamo-Girl, I am sorry I didn’t accept your blessing way back when. Please accept mine.
Now I will go read before something else happens. Better to do something else.
Mark, thanks very much, but I couldn’t let you defend me.
Actually, Judith Anne, if you read my post, I wasn't specifically defending you...
