Apology

I apologize for my post yesterday. It was childish and selfish and I realize that, but I am not going to delete it as we all need reminders sometimes of our negative ways to help deter us from going down those roads again.

I am ashamed of my post even more so because in the midst of all of this happening, one of my friends is losing her battle with cancer. I actually like to think of it as her winning her battle to get to heaven, but cancer is a horrible way to get to this everlasting reward. She will be leaving behind a six-year-old little girl, many students whose lives she touched in Miami and Raleigh and many teens she counseled as a youth leader. One of these former teens wrote in a guest book at a support site that when she was a teen, this woman's faith scared her it was so strong, this former teen went on to say that now she is so thankful for that kind of faith and that my friend is one of the most influential people in her life. After learning of her imminent return to the Father, I immediately offered up my suffering for her. So I might not be able to get up to see my parents and I had 24 hours of sickness, she has endured much more than I have. How dare I throw myself a pity party while she struggles through her last few hours.

So, again, I am sorry for my childish discourse yesterday. May you all have a blessed Thanksgiving.
