Julie, I just got back from church. I don't talk about church or God a lot, I am not comfortable talking about it to be honest, but while listening to the sermon, I suddenly had a strong feeling that this message was related to you. The pastor was talking about the story of Daniel and he got onto the topic of Bold Honesty. He said that "bold honesty" must be delivered with love, otherwise it is best to not say anything at all. He said that the truth without love can do more harm than good. That two people can hear the same exact message, the same exact "truth" and depending on their feeling for the messenger, or the messenger's feeling for them, they can interpret things in a completely different way. That we should consider our intentions and our track record with some one before delivering a truth. And if our track record is not "solid and loving" then we should work on that before delivering the truth. I guess that really applies to all DB'ers, all relationships actually.
Anyway, I was thinking about you. Hoping you are having a good day, is today your birthday? Happy Birthday.
