Hi there Vicente Quattrone right here, great article in relation to Brimstone… GodisGood – LifeSucks. There seem to be an issue with your online web page when looked at on ie, a number of material failed to load the right way… IE is still industry leader in addition to a significant percentage of individuals will overlook your own amazing publishing because of this drawback.

Yeah but I know that you can be a sensitive caring person if you just try harder… well maybe not cuz I sure can’t. I agree totally with you on this stuff though. For a long time in ministry I was pigeon holed as the guy who helps out with _____. I’m not telling because I don’t want to be THAT guy again. If only this could get me out of other things like taking out the trash, being sensitive with my wife and not being a jerk to people. There are things in life that you just have to do. But career wise I think you’re dead on brother.

Nice to hear from you again, I miss the posts of truth!

This was my initial reaction to people and church and I must say I still have some remaining feelings in that area.

I just came to realize that the circle of friends that we hope we will have in our life just does not exist. Most people are in the colleague realm (just people we associate with) and very few are actual friends.

In most cases it is less that 5 people and that usually includes our spouses. Honestly that is about all that I can handle because friendship requires a good deal of work.

As for being respected in my house it took me a while to figure out how to gain that. I have been married 25yrs this month and I must say that it took a good part of that time to learn how to gain my wife’s respect.

Simply put it is done with kindness and good solid decision making over time. I love my wife and I treat her like that daily, even when I have a crappy day. I apologize for any missteps without an excuse as to why I failed. I also try to make daily decisions that are best for my family even when it is often NOT what I really want…:-) Being respected is a great deal more work than being feared but it is worth it.

Welcome to the world of fake people and superficial relationships with people that only look out for themselves. Even my experience at our current church, the groups I attended were nothing but superficial relationships full of cliques. The same people that preach intimacy and accountability respond like crickets to emails and don’t bother to check on you when you don’t show up for group meetings or give you the usual lip service every 2-3 weeks at church and it has that usual awkward feeling.

I just recently had to accept the fact that these people aren’t worth my time or effort to consider them as friends. It’s just easier to write them off when time after time, all they do is prove they really do nothing to even acknowledge your existence. God’s taken from me the only people that ever cared about me in less than 3 years and I’m not even respected in my own home. FML

this frustrates me. leaders screwing up frustrates me. and yeah, I end up a bit aimless as well. I’m right with you when it comes to being cynical about a seemingly perfect life. seems like it just isn’t possible. seems like everyone’s messed up in some way.. and while that’s somewhat comforting, it’s also somewhat disconcerting.

but what can you do about it?

I am glad you liked the post. There is another post that is also a good read that my daughter wrote. It is at http://www.threadbaresoldier.com/?p=1140.

She also has a pocket full of red tokens which is a good barometer of her heart as it is of yours. Tender.

I am an introverted person (though some may not think so) and therefore I must take time to select my interactions as I have a limited span of time that I can be among crowds before I get nervous and don’t have any tokens to give out.

Take a look at what an introvert is (we are not to look down upon being an introvert) and see if you recognize anything…:-)

This blog touched me. I’ve professed myself a time or two, to dislike idle chit-chat. I want to know what lights you up. (You being the person with whom I engage in a conversation) I want to hear your hopes your dreams, your thoughts on life, love and the pursuit of happiness. But I only wish to engage with a genuine, sincere person. I find it difficult to trust sometimes people who seem to be laughing at me. They ask questions for the simple means to make fun of or gossip about me. When I ask questions back, they deflect, having nothing personal to share. It is in these interactions I am learning to identify the ‘idle chatters’ from the ones who have something wonderful to contribute.
Thank you for this blog. You gave me some food for thought and brought to the top of my mind something I have been pondering for some time.
RED TOKEN PLEASE =)
