Each week she notices more about them and asks more pointed questions. It breaks my heart that I will eventually have to tell her about this reality - and I know her heart will be broken as well.<BR/><BR/>BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36641321.post-59720357779374207362008-09-09T19:51:00.000-05:002008-09-09T19:51:00.000-05:00Can we please stop NOW?!

This is merely a place for me to keep my extended family and far-away friends up to date with what is going on.<BR/><BR/>In the midst of all the apologizing there is still plenty of room for hurt.<BR/><BR/>I'm about ready to shut down any and all comments.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Alex; you are our Knight in Shining Armor. I am blessed more than you know by your defense and will treasure your words.Barbarannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886602601840088934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36641321.post-54576065385731012762008-09-09T19:49:00.000-05:002008-09-09T19:49:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Barbarannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886602601840088934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36641321.post-11041240099964192132008-09-09T18:48:00.000-05:002008-09-09T18:48:00.000-05:00Alex,Respectfully I will tell you that I have know...Alex,<BR/>Respectfully I will tell you that I have known them MUCH longer than you have and I speak with experience. I am not someone who has no experience in what I speak of.<BR/>This may not have been the correct venue ; but I do know of what I speak at any rate.<BR/>Again, Nothing was meant to hurt feelings in any way. What was meant was a request for a deep consideration of the words that were spoken.<BR/>I cannot judge the heart but I think it is something worth consideration.<BR/>I do ask you to forgive me again for any hurt feelings that were caused.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36641321.post-30183377453901274512008-09-09T14:00:00.000-05:002008-09-09T14:00:00.000-05:00Hello again, anonymous one... sometimes this spiri...Hello again, anonymous one... sometimes this spiritual "acupuncture" of a sort feels more like spears rather than little bitty pins... As one who has been frequently and gratuitously wounded by well-meaning people, most who wear the name of Christ on their collar, I readily stand in defense of those who seem to be recipients of the same kind of "aid" that was bestowed upon me. I apologize if my methods of annunciating my points have been in any way harsh or undeserved. <BR/><BR/>For the record, I had the blessing of moving in with the Kellys for a month and a half this summer: as for "airs" of elitism- trust me, I've seen it at its finest, and NOPE, it's not in their home. They're letting ME marry their daughter! Haha! What are they thinking??? Apparently being a member of the cool club isn't a prerequisite. Their manners and etiquette are a genuine desire to be considerate of others. I've only eaten a good hundred or so meals with them...participated in every family outing... so believe me or don't. Another thing: I have never beheld a solid depiction of what God's grace really is before living under their roof. <BR/><BR/>I hope no hostility is perceived in these words. That is not the intent. I am simply trying to dispel doubts. I love 'um... couldn't hope for better in-laws... <BR/><BR/>May God's grace and peace be bestowed upon you...<BR/><BR/>-Alex MinarikAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36641321.post-20584186496600298842008-09-09T09:26:00.000-05:002008-09-09T09:26:00.000-05:00This has obviously struck a nerve.

No one is against "good manners" it is just that putting on "airs" is what appears to be.<BR/>I cannot judge your heart I can only make assessments as to what I see.<BR/>No offense was ever intended and I apologize for any way in which I offended either of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36641321.post-72613315824386855012008-09-09T08:34:00.000-05:002008-09-09T08:34:00.000-05:00I invite you to visit www.PowerUpLove.com a commun...I invite you to visit www.PowerUpLove.com a community of real people sharing real stories about how Love has changed their lives.
