My plea.

I keep reading all these post on MFP and post after post contains so many personal attacks. I am not just talking about my own post, but almost EVERY single post. Why my friends? Isn't their enough ugliness, hate, and cruelness around. Why create more? People join this website to make friends and be encourage. You don't know what they may or may not be facing. Just "turn away" if you don't like what they have to say. And if you can't, well attack me instead. I will even give you all the ammunition you need. Let's see... I have big ears, a big nose, I am not that attractive, I am short (5'8), and I cant spell or type. And that's just the physical. Before I came to Christ I was a drunk, a porn/sex addict, a thief, a liar, I slept with married women, and my sin led to my own child passing with me never even seeing her. Pick any of that you want and attack away. I won't be hurt and I won't get angry. I will love you and I will pray blessings over you. But as you do these things think about this. Anger, cruelty and sarcasm just lead to bitterness. Bitterness is a black-hole. Want to know how many marriages I have seen destroyed because one of the couple is constantly sarcastic? Is it not so much better to love, and to lift up? Jesus said what you do to the least of my children you do to me. Think about that.

I've said what i came to say. It's my plea that the fighting and ugliness stop. If it cant stop just aim it toward me.

I love you all dearly.

Blessings,

Ed



ps: i have put lyrics to a sawyer Brown song below... Just something more to think about...

A mother riding on a city bus
Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through
Somebody said don't you even care?
Do you let 'em do that everywhere?
She slowly turned around, looked up and stared
She said Please forgive them
But they've been up all night
Their father struggled but he finally lost his fight
He went to heaven
In the middle of the night
So please forgive my children

(They don't understand)
Everybody's busy with their own situation
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true
(They don't understand)
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through
(They don't understand)


A man driving on the interstate
Slowing down traffic making everybody late
Everybody's staring not knowing what he's going through
Somebody honked from the passing lane
Yellin' out the window, I ain't got all day
The old man looked around and he caught his eye
He said please forgive me
You know it's been a long life
My wife has passed away and my kids don't have the time
I've been left all alone
And its getting hard to drive
So please forgive me children

(They don't understand)
Everybody's busy with their own situation
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true
(They don't understand)
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through
(They don't understand)

A man hanging on a wooden cross
Giving everything to save the lost
Everybody's starin' not knowin' what he's going through
Somebody said you don't have a prayer
If you were king, come down from there
The man just turned his head looked up and stared

He said please forgive them
For they have not seen the light
They'll come to know me when I come back to life
Go to heaven, to make everything all right
So please forgive your children

(They don't understand)
Everybody's busy with their own situation
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true
(They don't understand)
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through
(They don't understand)
