Spiritually- Do you have trouble answering questions after a disagreement with online "friends"?
I have had a little problem recently and have had some difficulty even getting online because of my frustration with this person. She and I have been friends for a long time and we have many common friends from YA. This results in my not wanting to read about her or discuss the situation with others and has really upset me. I really felt that we were good friends and she violated that friendship in this situation. I am a Christian and I have no animosity but I do have great deal of disappointment at this time. Have a great week and thank you for your courteous replies.
Yours Truly,
Eds

Jan & Others,
The worst part of this is that I lost two online friends in this experience and I only want to serve GOD. I feel that I must continue on the road that I am on and hope that HE will fill in those gaps. I am extremely sore and tired from working outside at this time. Anyone is welcome to email me at any time about this or any other matter. I am a former Mathematics Instructor and I study GOD'S WORD each and every opportunity that I have. I will be out of town on Saturday and on Sunday (34th Wedding Anniversary). Expect me to answer you on Monday or Tuesday for those notes. Have a great week and a wonderful weekend!
Thanks again,
Eds

The only people I had a disagreement with was Eddy t p (1 cor 14:34,35) and some girl that ranted about Italians being white.
I probably consider most here (acquaintances) until time goes on and (God willing) it develops into a friendship. I have learned NOT to chase people for their friendship and will not. No offense .
I have become cynical of people.
Because of these facts you cannot be accepted for who you are (flaws and all) or who God calls you to be.
yes even by Christians
If people reject me I discovered I do not need that and it is better to be alone then get involved in a friendship and have it go to crap. only in heaven will I be able to enjoy the relationships with others I long for.
Why do I need people when I have the One who accepts and beleives in me and loves/accepts me for who I am faults and all.??
That person is God
People will let you down but God is allways there.

Yes, I have had some situations that made it difficult to be here, for different reasons.
Remember that it is not always the person themselves but sometimes, the forces behind the situation, that cause the dissension. Know the source, before the damage is done.
Usually disagreements are over some really petty stuff. What does it really matter? Who is right? Who is wrong? Good or bad, it all comes out the way God intended, of faith or not.

I have known people who are perfectly wonderful in person but what they write soon disintegrates into a conflict. Is it that people have trouble putting their thoughts into words, and it comes out harsh?
Sometimes I think if a friend is able to leave you, let her walk. Her part in your life is over, and if God wanted her to continue on with you, He would have arranged it that way, and nothing could have prevented it from happening.
1 John 2:19 (King James Version)
"They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."

I'm sorry about this disappointment. Can you just block her. Do you know how to do this? That shouldn't be a problem. I've had to do that and glad I know how now. There are many discourteous people in here and many more dysfunctional that could hurt you and so easy to get misunderstandings especially if they are not filled with the Holy Spirit.

Sorry to hear that Eds. Keep in mind that we all are capable of disappointing friends from time to time. It's part of being human. She may have had a bad day or she may have taken a turn in life but either way she is still one of us.

Sweetie, you are human. There is no reason why you have to continue in a relationship that makes you in any way uncomfortable. You harbor no animosity, so you have done what Christ would do.
Come online and have fun.
God bless.

((((Eds)))) You are wonderful and we know that you will forgive her. Continue to pray for her and God will sort it out. The rest of your friends are standing here to hug you and tell you how much you mean to us. And we pray for you daily knowing one day we will see you in Heaven if not on this earth.
Sometimes it takes praying for them and forgiving them first before answering.

Brother,
I have been in the same boat a couple times myself. I do not know who she is and it does not matter, but I am sure she is a mutual friend. Cheryl and I will keep the both of you lifted up.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!
