the taunts, the mocking, etc. -could be infinitely worse-

God is Love. God is Good. He's shown extreme Goodness and Love towards -me- , a pariah former wretch in desperate need of all sorts of Goodness, Love, and...compassion, mercy.

I just don't like being taunted, obviously. And it freaks me out, too...how, sometimes, when I have my windows rolled down and I'm in traffic, I get taunted. who are these people? or...how when I make (infrequent) shopping trips, someone will say things...

'couple years in prison would be good for him' and 'he's living off welfare' and 'where's the money coming from?' or 'middle-class loser' and now and then 'he got too old' and 'he has pretty hair' or then 'how'd he get probation?' and then 'he gets chemical peels'

blah. ain't nothin' to it but to do it...

'fear of man shall prove to be a snare'

analyzing, especially with worldly 'wisdom,' is worse than dead end. '...hold every thought captive to Christ...'

please pray. and...thank you all, for the patience and support you've extended my way. :-)

Yeah, and I think that the reason they taunt him so much is because they're envious of him. Don't let it bother you CE, you're a MUCH better person than they are. So don't worry and be happy. :biggrin2








 
thanks. me, yet again. lol. :-)

and...some of the 'stuff' continues. i'm getting better at handling it. "he ain't a man" is what I keep hearing people I do.not.know say about me, here and there (convenience store, fast food drive thru, getting coffee), and...yeah. OK. that and "he's nothing special," etc. so...

? I dunno. Oh, I'm apparently "the laughing stock of (hometown)," and...yeah. I mean, now that I've simmered down and THE LORD has brought me a long, long way...softened my parents' hearts towards me, I've been made healthy (everything's worse when you're sick and/or barely patched up from having been a mega-burn out)....

I'm dealing with it better. Truth? God's work in my life is...to me, its a miracle. I do like RC Sproul, kinda sorta, and this doesn't meet -his- criteria for a miracle... blah blah blah...miracle, to me. so, more and more...as my parents warm up to me, as my mind is more and more restored (I don't mean IQ, I mean the important things...like understanding -reality- and how to deal with day to day life...), I can increasingly offer up a prayer of Thanksgiving, because...

Once again, THE LORD has seen fit to bless one of '...the things that aren't...,' and it's me, and I am increasingly grateful. :-)

but yeah, this talk of "call the marshals and have him arrested" and talk of gay stuff from way back when and junk from my psych history, and...and...

blah blah blah. its tiring, at times...but I am getting better at dealing with it, by God's grace. Thanks for the prayers! :-)

They can't have you arrested because you have done nothing wrong. Hang in there CE you're doing a great Job..... God is powerful and He is with you.

Too bad you can't arrest them for acting like buttholes. Actually you can, it's called harassment and somebody should arrest those donkeys. (Keeping it rated G here although it really ticks me off how they treat him! :mad)

Praying!
 
Can't believe they are saying such things. it just sounds Hellish. When I go shopping I never get taunted. if I got taunted I might say something back. or even report them to a supermarket manager. I just wouldn't tolerate it.
 
Me again. Went to see my parents. Neighbors were talking in barely hushed voices about calling the police. Dinner was good.

Its surreal, sometimes. I apparently had cancer and 6 months to live....over 12 years ago. Probably a complication of untreated hiv, I'm thinking.

Still haven't been treated. Healthy. He has an appointed time for each of us. I thank God for His goodness and mercy.

So...now, my parents have money. Not tons of money, but enough for a comfortable lifestyle and for me to have a buffer, between a cruel world and me. I live in relative peace, for which I am thankful. And.....

Jesus saves. Why not me? Or.....anyone, really?

I have been in jail, never prison...and that was and is Gods mercy in action. Maybe that's why the taunts get to me?

Sorry to ramble. Thanks for the prayers and support.

I agree with some things that you said, but it's also important to turn the other cheek as well.

To be honest, from an outsider's point of view, America does look crazy sometimes. Sorry if that is judgemental.

Believe me it isn't. I'm American and I agree with you.
 
I am missing something here. Coming on board late. Who is bulling you.?Tell me where they live and I will take care of them for you.

I went to kindergarten happy. I came home that day sad. Met my first bully. For a year I cried. Then I got angry and would grab the bully's hair and drag her around the school yard.

Now I try too forgive them but it is hard. Bullies destroy people who do not have God to turn to. My opinion of myself comes from looking Jesus in the face. All I see is love.
