I will disagree & say to me it was written as a holier than thou screed. Are any of us the same person we were when we were young(er ;). I would bet most of us have utterly cringe inducing memories that make us say, “What oh what was I thinking?” We are the sum of our experiences.......the good, the bad,& the ugly. Those things have made us who we are. He sounds like in his later years he was a low key family man w/ a beloved wife, daughter & friends who paint him as a generous & kind person.

It is easy & cheap to present oneself as holier than thou. I will take the people who live, make mistakes & find out what a good life means. Nanny nanny boo boos are the Debbie Downers of every facet of life. We do wrong, most of us right the ship. For some it takes longer. The Fisher boys of the world are not providing guidance, they are pointing fingers.

The post is meant as a warning.

There is no “holier than thou” in the writing that I could see.

The Bible does say that for the unrepentant, hearing the Gospel and biblical truth would appear as arrogance to them.

Agree with you about “younger days.” Mine were just awful.

I thank God that He saved me and I cling to His Salvation. Without that, I have nothing.

I agree with you wrt distaste for the Nanny nanny boo boos. The ObaMao administration and the DemoncRATs are full of them.

Have a great Saturday, FRiend.
