Dear Radish/ Saying sorry

Dear Radish, 

The other day I think/know I hurt  a friend’s feelings.  I corrected her in front of others. She talks all the time, and she insisted  that she could hear God even when she was talking.  I,  even after sleeping on it, said to her the next day, what if God wanted  to speak through me to her. She would not be able to hear.    I know I hurt her as she would not look me in the eye.   

Upset, Sally

Dear Upset Sally,

Do you have any other friends besides these church friends? 

You speak directly to her in person and say you are sorry.  You look her in the eye, and say  you hurt her feelings and especially in the company of others.  Do not say you are sorry like those jerk politicians say when they do something like commit adultery or steal money from the Postal fund, and suddenly the press finds out.  Do not be a  Tiger Woods. Speak from the heart. 

Now do five loads of laundry, scrub your toilets, and make a chocolate cake, and be done with it. You just never know.  Maybe God did mean for her to hear it.  

As always, Radish

Dear Raw Radish - It's evident you are truly remorseful for the pain you may have caused, and your approach to making a meaningful apology is admirable; God forgives you and so will your friend. The cake sounds a lot more fun than the toilets.

Wonderful picture with the focus on the large off center shell leaving the others to be a textury background. The light also gets the eye to go to that focus point. Nice job! I love this picture...

AUGHHHHH.... Don't you hate when that happens? I'll bet you just blurted it out. My 2 cents: fall on your sword and just say that you were not exhibiting the Fruit of the Spirit (patience/restraint). Let us know how the apology goes .... P.S. since when did baking make you feel better? Go grill a steak instead.

Thank you Mood Ring. Toilets are easy. You know my chocolate cakes.

Expat, that is the worst part, I thought about it. The apology went well, but I think there was a divot.
Making a chocolate cake is exactly what I would like to do, because I started calorie reduction yesterday.

Thanks Lois, coming from you it is a very nice compliment.

Ugh. Tough times. You did the right thing.
