I have been here for several years. I'm not the sharpest pencil or the brightest bulb but this is the only forum I follow. Several of you have sent me parts and PM'd me when I was in a jam and to you I feel like you are
a friend. Actually, I would love to meet several of you because of how you have treated me and my family. Good Men. Trav, demarpaint, Molakule, etc. There are others but I just wanna give you a few examples.
I don't understand why this forum has become more "angry" in the last few years. I am in no way perfect but I know how to forgive. My Father taught me such. Some mornings I get up to see what has gone on overnight and some of the posts really upset me. Why do we treat one another with such little respect? Disrespecting one another. Slicing and dicing. It is possible to disagree and still have a discussion, isn't it?
What I have concluded is angry people are angry because they haven't forgiven. They haven't forgiven their fathers, mothers, spouses, children, themselves, etc. This lack of unforgiveness will eat at you like a cancer. It will destroy your mind and your body and your relationships. It will cause you to lash out at innocent people.
I must admit, it took me a long time to figure this out. 35 years or so. I didn't understand the power of forgiveness. If you forgive those who have hurt you, it will truly set you free. Your mind will work differently, Your heart will respond differently. If you would only forgive, you could restore broken relationships and have true fellowship with others.
If this post has made you angry, well, to quote Jeff Foxworthy, "Show me a sign." Your anger is your sign.
