Unforgiven

Just a short rant today. I am on Facebook, in fact have become quite addicted to it. Search me out by my name, and you will find me - add me as a friend if you haven't already!

I have a WIDE variety of different types of friends on there. I have friends from: church, people I went to high school with, people I went to college with, people I used to work with, friends from the internet, and family.

I am also a Christian, and most Christians I personally know are cool people. But sometimes people of my faith can really annoy me. Usually the ones who feel we as followers of Christ must be very prim and proper and follow 4728942 different rules.

So where am I going with this?

I posted a funny video on Facebook, about the origin of the word "fuck". OK, so it's not for kids. But kids aren't supposed to be on Facebook.

This person, whom I shall not name, I will call "P" for brevity's sake. P did not like this video, in fact it incensed her. Here's the thing - she had the choice to play it or not. It was clearly labeled as to what it was about. Apparently she played it, despite it's rather obvious title.

So, she didn't like it one little bit. She removed me from her friend list. I actually noticed this, so I sent her a private message asking what was wrong. She replied that she was very offended by my video clip.

At this point, I am a little surprised. I sent her a nice note APOLOGIZING and promising not to do it again.

But she has chosen the path of non-forgiveness. I admit this bothers me a bit, given that we as Christians are supposed to be very forgiving.

So I guess all that is left is to forgive HER for this. She is still friends with the wonderful and amazing Mrs. Hoerler, and I respect that. I will not make waves in that regard.

I guess it just bums me out. I like P, and did not mean to upset her. I am even more bummed out she ignored my apology.

OK, I'm over it. :-)
