| Dear "old friend" |
| In my guestbook someone had given me a bit of "constructive criticism," and I would like to at least address this in a manner that would not be considered to be "making it seem like I am better that this person," but yet pointing out a couple of things. First of all, they said that they were "really excited about how much I have changed for the better, but that I should take a look at how I make myself sound better than everyone else and that I should take a little step off." And now my rebutle. This person who claims to be an "old friend" of mine should know that I have always tried to not make other people look worse than I, sometimes I don't completely agree with them and give them some tips on how to work through some things that I may know about or have gone through. But in no possible way/shape/ or form I have thought that I was better than they were/are/or am. And in the same way that I gave these people the tips for handling some hard situations, this "old friend" of mine is giving me some "tips" for everyday life. I want to make it abundantly clear that this is not an angry response, but just a way of letting this person know that I do not think that I am any better that anyone, and if this person even bothered to read my bio, I very clearly state that "I plainly admit that I am absolutely no better than you are! AS a matter of fact, I can tell you with quite a bit of confidence that you are by far better than I am!" And I would also like to say that if this person ever really truly was my "friend" that they would know not to really give constructive criticism" in a place like this which is here for the soul purpose of helping people and letting them know that Jesus Christ has died for all of us and all we have to do to be saved is ask him into our lives! Even though I know who this "old friend" really is, I am going to choose to not address this in any other way and I will pray that this person will understand what "The Faces of Fiends and Angels" and I are about and will forgive me for any grievance/disagreement/ or misunderstanding that we may have had to make them an "old friend" instead of just a friend. And also, that if there is any other "constructive criticism" in the future, please direct it towards my e-mail and leave this site alone so that it can help lead others to Christ and not distract them by people's petty differences and misunderstandings. God Bless, jamie P.S. Even if the person seems to think that I still do not know who they may be, I would encourage them to make a fake e-mail account and then address me through there. |
