Sometimes I Get So Angry

I held off from writing this post.  I read something this morning that

made me angry.   I wanted to immediately say something in response,

but I decided to wait a while and see if the anger persisted.  It's now

nearly 5:00 PM, and I am still aggravated, so I decided that perhaps

now is the time for me to vent.

First of all I must tell you that I will not shame anyone personally.

I won't be putting names on the behavior, but will only say that I

abhor the behavior that I am about to discuss.  

There are some in this world who are hypocrites.  I'm sure you

have met some.  Most of the time I just brush them off.  I know they

exist and I just can't be bothered to acknowledge them.  Once and

a while the hypocritical behavior hits a bit too close to home and

thats when I have trouble letting it go.  

Several years ago something was done that personally effected someone

I love.  It was a nasty act that was meant to cause separation and revenge.

In my opinion, it was perhaps one of the cruelest and most insensitive of

acts that one could do to another.  The results of this act were permanent 

and forever irreversible.  While I have forgiven these individuals in my

heart, because as a Christian I must, I have not forgotten the action and

will forever keep these individuals at arms length.  To this date, no 

apology has ever been offered.

So why am I disturbed about this now?  The reason is simple.  Several

of these people who either knew about, or were responsible for this 

nasty deed, find it perfectly fine to go on to social media and repeatedly

complain about others.  They finger point and get all incensed and I 

keep thinking that perhaps they need to take a good look in the mirror.

They are so quick to find fault and blab about the perceived errors

of others in a very public way.

None of us are perfect, and I certainly am not.  I do believe however that

actions speak louder than words.  I hope that perhaps I have shed a bit

of light on the fact that we all have hearts that can be broken by

actions that cannot be undone.  We all need to think before we act and

to look into our own hearts before we criticize others.  If you have

taken the time to finish reading this post, I thank you for letting me

vent.

Big Texas Hugs,
