Perhaps I am a hypocrite at times . . .

Found out yesterday that one of the blogs I used to write (but deleted several months back with the understanding that I had followed every step to ensure security) had been hijacked by a porn group.

Despite my Christian beliefs, values and preaching . . . I suddenly felt the urge to go find these people, and slowly choke them to death.

However, I chose instead to file the appropriate complaints with Blogger.com . . . and the fine folks there took care of the problem in a matter of hours. I appreciate their prompt and professional resolution of this conflict.

Funny, how we say that anger and other emotions cause us to do things.

Not true.

This situation of someone stealing my name and our church name, and misrepresenting it for their selfish promotion . . . yeah, I was very, very, very, veeeerrrrrryyyyy angry about this.

But . . . I chose to be angry. And in that anger, I chose to plan how I would seek my initial "revenge."

Then I decided I needed to calm down . . . so I did some of the things I do when I know I need to calm down. As a result of my choosing not to be angry, I instead chose to do what Blogger.com suggests one do about this type of situation (immediately report it!!!) . . . and as a result, it was all taken care of pretty quickly.

A lot quicker than if I had acted out in anger to solve the problem.

I may irreverent at times.

I may be loud at times.

I may be self-focused at times.

However, I do try avoiding the hypocrite path as much as I can. I am thankful for family and friends who help steer me off this path when I, for some reason, decide it is the path I should walk.

I appreciate you all!

I'm better than I deserve! ><>
