I also think that it is a male vs female thing on most occasions. The Lord has made us differently and that is OK; we balance one-another. I think we all learned a lot through "the situation". I will bring up one thought: maybe if e-mails were available, some things could be commented in private, like we would do in non-bloggisphere.IMOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267268485213020773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10512467.post-1116300858967902482005-05-16T20:34:00.000-07:002005-05-16T20:34:00.000-07:00Thanks, David.

I think we get that way from our military time - consistently being involved in decsions that affect people's lives tends to make us forget that those without such responsibility are more sensitive. <BR/><BR/>That's not a bad thing (sensitivity or bluntness), it is just different.<BR/><BR/>St. Paul wrote that we are to be everything to everyone - and I fail when it comes to being sensitive in writing. <BR/><BR/>Would you believe I don't have this trouble face-to-face? It is truly the work of God, because earlier in my walk I was as blunt in speech as I am in writing.<BR/><BR/>Praise God for what He's done, and that He loves us in spite of ourselves. Thanks for the category change...though I'm sad to see the old one go, too.Hammertimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497914450803388853noreply@blogger.com
