A time of renewal

Blog Last Activity 11 years ago 446 views 14 comments
I was so emotionally spent going into Christmas. With the shooting, everyone yelling about one thing or another, my staff deciding that they would rather have my money instead of my companionship at a Christmas party. I began to lash out at people. I realize that now. People who were simply voicing their opinions. People who's opinions didnt agree with mine but who have a right to their opinions none the less. I still believe that the United States of America is the Greatest country on earth and if I believe that then I cannot in good faith ignore a founding principle of this great land the freedom of speech.

Going to the mission on Christmas has reminded me of just what life is truly about. Its not about things, possesions or money. Its about love and caring for each other. I stood there amongst people who were wearing all that they possesed and they were wishing me a Merry Christmas. I tell you I was humbled.

Then I thought what was the point of all the bickering and fighting I had been doing. There was none. I spoke with Thomas today and afterwards I decided to post this blog.

TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE I MAY HAVE ANGERED OFFENDED OR GENERALLY PISSED OFF IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS I OFFER MY DEEPEST AND MOST HEARTFELT APOLOGIES. LET US MOVE FORWARD INTO 2013 AND MAKE THIS WORLD OF OUR A TRULY BETTER PLACE FOR ALL MANKIND

Peter hugs and love for being man enough to share your apolgies, but I do have to say people have to be more sensative about what the say about other peoples countries and realize people are passionate about where they live and hopefully everyone is as passionate about their own countries. Opinions should be just that opinions and not constant country bashing. I like most of the people I have met on here and will never insult them or their country. Just my opinion guys. Happy New Year to all

A very heart warming blog Peter,Its nearly 2013 and it can be a New Year of great things
if we choose it to be. Mankind can be very selfless sometimes and it just pays to stop
and just think,How can i lead a better life. We can help others and renew contacts with Family for a start. I would encorage everyone to do some Volunteer Work as well. Even if its only
One hour a week. It makes me feel good to hear Peters story of the last two days and i just think
i could do something like that. Happy NEW YEARS everyone and be kind to others and they will be kind to you......

Peter, it takes a real man to say what you have said. I held you close as a friend before this. And even closer now. I thank you for being who you are. A real person, with real feelings and emotions. And I have a deep respect for you as a friend and as my brother through Alan. It is never easy to travel through our lives. Our pasts shape us and make us who we are. I hope that your life is filled with joy, peace and love. For those are the things that makes us who we are. And it is with deep respect that I call you my friend...no...I call you my brother. And I thank you for being who you are. I hope that those that read this, will find in their hearts to accept you friendship and your honesty as heartfelt as I do. May the light of the season shine on you. Thomas
