You say you're a Christian and that you follow Jesus and then one day outa nowhere, kaboom! you do something that seems to blow everything. And everybody sees it. Now what do you do?
You say you're a Christian and that you follow Jesus and then one day outa nowhere, kaboom! a coworker blindsides you in a way-over-the-top way that just makes you want to pounce. And everybody sees it. Now what do you do?
I thought it was great seeing that headline at the top of the Observer this morning. When bad things happen, it's good to have a moral to the story so simple that kids can understand. I know there's more to it than that, and that it's not over yet, and there's more to the story we'll never hear -- doesn't matter. For us, this is what we need.
What Steve says (more HERE):
There's only one side, which is a lack of judgment on my part. ... I have no excuse.
I'm going to take this opportunity to let God break me, humble me, and continually let me move forward in being the person I can truly be -- and that's a God-fearing man...
I'm a fallen man. I'm a man who made a mistake.
I'm completely wrong. (It was) an asinine decision.
This is the first time in my life that I really haven't forgiven myself...
What Ken says (more HERE):
I feel like what happened was a blessing in disguise.
Me and Steve have talked, man to man and one on one. We still have some more talking to do as far as the descrepencies of what we feel like are the issues between us. But we're going to handle it as men.
Sometimes when emotions get involved, you do stupid things, and unfortunately that's what humans do.
For me, to be a Christian, I have a forgiving heart and I'm willing to move forward to help this team win this year.
Q: Has he apologized?
A: "Oh absolutely....
I have to admit it's tough as a human...Where I get the courage and the grace to do so, I know it doesn't come from me. It comes from God. So I just give all the glory to God for how I'm handling the situation right now.
If I could take it back, I wouldn't. It's a learning process. Trials and tribulations only make you stronger as a man, for me and Steve. I'm sure he regrets the actions he took, but I would be less of a man if I didn't forgive him. I go to Bible study, just like he does, every week. For me not to be able to forgive him, then I'd just be wasting my time going to Bible study. I just think it's bigger than us.
