Remember When I Talked About Loving People?

Remember When I Talked About Loving People?

I Love Erin.

You Make Me Smile…

And Teach Me Cool Things…

Yay!

This is a project, not a fight.

Nathanael Berends March 30th, 2004

I Love You All So Much… But Please, Please, Please - Join Me In Remembering. One Thing.

Remember - This Is A Project, Not A Fight.

I Know That So Many Of You Guys Have The Best Intentions, But This Has Been Bugging Me…

My Greatest Hope Is That Every Single One Of You Who Have Blessed Me With Your Input Would Continue Supporting In Any Manner You See Fit.

Please Remember That We Are All Working Toward A Goal…

If Not For The Input Of Every Single One Of You, I’d Have Never Acted On These Thoughts…

I Love Being The Person That Makes A Difference, But Please - I Need Your Help.

I Can’t Do This Alone.

I Need Your Support, I Need Your Guys’ Input, And Above All; I Need You To Remember Once Again -

This Is A Project - Not A Fight.

I Love Every Single One Of You - Remember That Always

Okay…

Jer - You Are So Right (See Comment On Previous Post)… And As Hard As It Is For Me To Think That What You Said - And What Lew Said - Is True, My Better Judgement Must Recognize That It Is Probably The Truth…

But I Guess I Haven’t Really Specified What Makes Me So Dissapointed About This -

The Fact Is That Lew Can Throw Bible Verses At Me All Day - And I May Be Able To Coax Myself Into Recognizing Their Meaning, And Implications…

My Problem Is This…

Over The Past Year, I Have Struggled So So So Much With This.

…To Have Him Make The Struggle Into Some Sort Of Joke Made Me Genuinely Mad…

I Guess That I Don’t Really Care How True The Joke Was, Or How Much Factual Information Supported It - It Still Really Hurt.

That Is Where My Grievance Lies…

Jer - You Have Taught Me So Much Through Our Incredibly Limited Relationship… Thanks For Everything…

Thanks For Pointing This Out… Lew Is Right - It Is Just How He Chose To Present It That Dissapoints Me…

Thank You Thank You Thank You…

As Funny As It May Seem, Your Comment Is Making Me Face This In Such A Different Light…

I Guess That Instead Of Making It A Joke, I’d Have Hoped That He Could Have Adressed It… I Suppose That That Would’ve Taken Far Too Much Time Though…

Anyhow, I Just Realized I Stopped Making Sense A Few Paragraphs Ago, So I’d Like To End My Post Here -

Once Again…

Jeremy - Thank You Ever So Much…

Wow… Talk About Dissapointment…

I’ve Gotten Two Replys To This Message -

The First Was From Pegman:

You make some valid points, I would suggest you identify yourself and
work at making changes by joining the chapel committee where you could
have an impact.

I Love How He Treats Me As Some Sort Of Psyco-Terrorist, Who Is On The Edge, And About To Take Some Seriously Irrational Measures…

Then… Lew… All I’ve Got To Say Is “What The Junk?”

Hi Concerned People
I think I should respond since I’m brought up in the letter(s).
So …….. thanks! I’m glad you’re talking. That’s your right.
It’s hard to respond, though, since I don’t know who you are. Why?
Generally, I simply want to say, “Thanks for talking” - good to hear
from you.
Regarding the truck - not really a joke, I guess. Trucks do run over
people and they do die. Matthew 25 says there’s eternal accountability.
And so ..?
peace

Trucks Do Run Over People, And They Do Die?… I Have Lost Any Shred Of Respect I Still Had For Him…

So… That Is The Sad News From My Street… Though I Am Still Planning On Taking This Up Personally With Kuips.

I’m Sincerely Dissapointed That So Few People Have Responded; And That Those Who Have Responded Have Put Such A Seemingly Small Amount Of Effort Into The Responses…

Lew Responded

Lew Responded…

I’m Not Sure If I Can Actually Read It.

Try To Immagine - It’s A Weired Feeling…
