Hoof & Mouth

If I offended anyone in my last two posts (which are deleted), I apologize. If they had nutrition facts on them, it would have read, "water, HFCS, sodium absorbatrol, nonane dodecahedrose, pride, short sightedness, red 40, (this product was made with equipment also used for making products containing tactlessness)." I beg your pardon, dear reader.

Good point, Paul. Thanks for the encouragement. Also, I'm pumped to know that you read my blog. I feel so happy about that.

Yea man~ you sent me the link I think while I was in Tanzania, I've been reading it off and on since then....good stuff :)

A friend of mine and I had a conversation about this (sort of) recently.

When people ask for feedback, tell them what you really think. Affirmation without criticism is insulting. It implies either an inattentiveness to what has actually been done, a judgment that the one who has humbled himself to receive help is incapable of improving, or flagrant disgregard for the good of your fellow human being.

All are sins against Christian charity. So quit it.
