please forgive me

Dear Golo Family,

 

            I want to take a minute to say that I was really out of line last night. I blasted WheelerX5 for something she posted to my personal profile. I said some things that were way out of line and very unnecessary. The blog titled a Salute to WheelerX5 started out as anything but a salute. Well maybe it was a NY salute. I did not love my neighbor as I love myself the way Jesus tells us to. As I was getting ready to go to bed, I got a serious case of the guilts and the result of that was me removing all the negative things on my profile and on the blog. I then rewrote the blog to be an encouragement to Wheeler instead of tearing her down when she was already feeling down. I see some of the comments you guys wrote who were not privy to the original unedited version and I am saddened. You have given me praise for something that I feel ashamed of.  

 

       As anyone who clicks on my profile can tell you, I profess to be a Christian. I have four boys that I am trying to raise to be Christians. For those of you who have daughters, my goal is to raise my boys to be the boys you would want for your daughters to marry. I constantly get disturbed by people who call themselves Christians, only to drag His name through the mud. I do not want to be the person that people point at and say, “If that is what being a Christian is all about, then I don’t want to be one.” I want people to be able to point at me and say, “That is the way a Christian handles that situation.”  Last night, you would not have known I was a Christian unless you went to my profile, for that, I humbly ask for your forgiveness.

 

God Bless,

 

Scott a/k/a Yougottabekidding

Did you call her trash? Slime? Nasty? Black or Ghetto? If not, then I forgive you...We all make mistakes, at least you are man enough to own up to yours and offer an apology. Althought it is not for me to accept since it had nothing to do with me then all I can say is you have heart and God will forgive you even if this Wheeler person wont. Have a great day!

God bless you !!!!!! Smile God loves you.

This is so very nice of you. :) Hugs to you.

A lot of people claim to be christians. Something to ponder. If you did not tell anyone you were a christian, would they know you were, based on your actions. I believe a true christian does not have to tell anyone they are a christian. Their actions speaks louder than words.

christianism is overrated........just spend some time on GOLO and you will see that - Raise your children to be considerate of others and to themselves and they will be fine.

An apology is one of the most difficult things to give and one of the most difficult things to accept. Even if you had called her all of the things Mocha listed, you could still apologize, though I'm not thinking that you did. A heartfelt apology goes a long way and most of us on GOLO have had to make one at some time or another. Hopefully Wheeler will see this and understand where you are coming from. We're all human and we all make mistakes,,some days our moods just don't make us fit company for man nor beast (nor GOLO).

No the only name i called her had nothing to do with social status, racial, religious, sexual persuasion etc... I am not so much asking forgiveness for calling her a name as I am asking forgiveness for being non-Christian. Some people would call it being a hypocrite, but that's not correct either. I was just out of line and started out making a personal attack which is one of the Golo NO NO's.

Chevelle, that is so true, that a Christian shouldn't have to tell people, their actions should say it for them. However, Christians are human too and we make mistakes. We're not perfect, just forgiven. We screw up all the time, every day. We just try to do better, as so many that aren't Christians do the same thing.

You have been through so much YouGotta as has Bella and Your Families...sometimes we blow up and not mean it!!! *HUGS*

I don't know anything about what happened, other than what you wrote here. But I respect you for "coming clean" about whatever it was you did. It takes a big person to apologize and admit they are wrong about something.
