I'm feeling kinda bad

Posted by Acheick on July 15, 2002 at 08:22:14:

I was thinking about the whole exchange with Ray both on xfire and here and started thinking that my whole dialogue was not presented correctly and I have probably offended Ray which I did not mean to do. If anyone knows Rays email addy or can email him for me to tell him I'm sorry and I'd like to say that here too. I know Ray is now on his out of town trips and probably not at his computer, so I hope he can get this soon.

I just wanted to say to Ray -

I didn't mean to sound like I have anything against you or that I thought any less of you, I've always had a pleasant exchange on the boards with you and I think I even met you and your wife a long, long time ago and remember you are being an extremely nice couple. I think what I was trying to get at was how certain things just push buttons with exmembers, not only me but others that I know. Like the story I told of the pastor who told me that God could heal my problem and I should just trust him, it was a no-answer and it pushed my buttons. I had too much of that in the F. and I can't deal with it anymore. I think it's great that others can and it works for them and it looks like it works for you too and that's wonderful and I'm glad for you. But I worry about those that are like me and have been pushed over the edge so to speak. I think we all know either an FGA or SGA that doesn't want to hear anything about the Bible, religion, the name of Jesus, a bible verse, nothing. I want to find space for them and help them where they are at, because I am there too. I guess some of those things you said pushed some of those buttons I have and I apologize if I over reacted.
