I don't think its respectful, because kids are baby goats, and Jesus said that at the judgement, the goats will be on His left. However, there are many references to us being His sheep, so I don't mind if people call my children lambs. :)<br />But. This doesn't make me write you off. Not saying I disagree with some of your thoughts on those other authors. I don't care for the Pearl theories myself, but I try to be careful how vocal I am. They are humans created in God's image, and as such, worthy of respect. <br />I have read and enjoyed your writing, and I own the book Fragrant Whiffs of Joy. I won't throw it away because you call children kids. :) I write, too, and would like to emulate you in some aspects. I'm glad you still write at your age; it encourages me that I can write for a long time yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00337323962116164066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-5646686931171143342019-04-01T18:54:25.027-07:002019-04-01T18:54:25.027-07:00@anonymous:

Or perhaps the students/people in charge had their own set of issues they should've dealt with earlier? Just a couple of wild guesses, as I don't know details and probably don't want to know.<br /> Sometimes people just don't hit it off with each other, whether because of differing views on "life, love, & other mysteries", or any of a multitude of other reasons. I have no idea whether I know you or not, but I'm sorry you've had to deal with so much...negativity, for lack of a better word. Keep in mind, though, that it's Dorcas' right to speak (write) what she thinks, whether you or I agree with it or not, just as much as each of us are entitled to agree or disagree with her viewpoints. God made us all differently, that's just how it is. We will all, to an extent, agree and disagree with different people/groups of people. I don't advocate making enemies, but we don't all have to be best friends, as nice as that may be.<br /> For what it's worth, it sounds to me like you don't think too highly of Mrs. Pearl either, and that's okay. If I thought hard enough, I could probably come up with some authors I didn't care for, myself. <br />:-) <br /><br />PS-If you are serious about all this, it's good you didn't wait until today to post what you did, otherwise I would've simply said, "good joke", as today is the first day of April. :-) <br /><br />PPS-Dorcas, keep posting your thoughts, as that is what blogs are for, and apparently you have a lot of interesting readers as well as posts. :-)The Baritonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-5170105598753075922019-04-01T03:32:39.845-07:002019-04-01T03:32:39.845-07:00Eph 4:31&32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and...Eph 4:31&32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
