Yesterday I received some hate mail about selling Honey Lake. This lady told me that I was letting others down and basically that I am selfish.
Selfish?
For entering the ministry fulltime at a time when I could retire and travel the world enjoying its pleasures with my wife and spend precious time with my kids and grandkids?
Selfish?
Thanks for the overwhelming support. It’s wonderful to be loved.
I don’t know what it is but I think of myself as a lightning rod. I get hit by the occasional lightning bolt but it goes harmlessly into the ground. I think the thing that upsets my detractors more than anything is that I really don’t care what any of them think about me. I wrote this old gal back and said, “Nasty response to a heartfelt call to the ministry. I guess there is always one among the encouragers and well-wishers. Have a nice day . . . ”
Most everyone congratulated me in being obedient to the Lord, but not all. I was discussing a similar problem with a buddy of mine not long ago and I told him that folks write to me all of the time and say they don’t agree with everything I write. Well shock of all shocks, you mean there are some of you out there that don’t agree with every jot and tittle I faithfully write down??? There are actually those among you who don’t like me??? Well shock of all shocks – Did you know that there are those among you that I don’t agree with about everything and yes there are people that I don’t like? Especially those foul mouthed skunks who hide behind their keyboards and write their anonymous filth.
I only agree with God all of the time and I don’t understand half of what He does and says and just go along because of my unquestioning faith in Him.
So disagree to your heart’s content. You will not hurt my feelings. I notice that today I have 906 e-mails awaiting an answer. I bet someone in there has written me a nasty e-mail. Oh shock of all shocks I think I’ll cry a river.
Today my wife, Teresa has surgery at 9:45. Those of you who are so inclined please offer a prayer for her. Those who are not, just delete and move on.
Psalm 37:1
Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb.
