Confession Time: I had a friendship that was fragile. I thought we were making progress toward strengthening it. In that assumption I wasnt respectful of the frailty of the friendship. I opened my mouth, when I shouldnt. It had nothing to do with whether what I had to say was right, wrong or indifferent. I allowed myself to engage in topics that were hot button topics, that I really should have known would end up doing more harm than good. The bible says Warn them against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen (2 Tim 2:14) Dont have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments; because you know they produce quarrels. (2 Tim 2:23) and Avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because they are unprofitable and useless. I knew better. But I was foolish and opened my mouth. In the end it became the straw that broke the camels back, and pushed the friendship to its breaking point. For that, I am sorry. I share this, not for anyone to pat my back and tell me I am a good person, or that the other person is in the wrong. Nor for anyone to ask me for the details, because that doesnt matter. I share this as an acknowledgement of my flaws, and an apology to those I have quarreled with over stupid things.
