I am human.

     Recently, it has come to my attention that someone has been telling a story that I threatened him. In that, I did lose my temper. I truly believe that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The first time I lost my temper with Mr. X we had been moving a church organ from northern MN to an elder folks home so they could have an organ where they resided for their church services. As most know, Amy, Princess, Pojo, and Lil are in NC, and at that time was when there were a collection of tornados looming down on them. As I was talking to Amy she expressed her fear and that they were getting close. As she said that her line went dead. I immediately stoped what I was doing and told Mr. X and my son that we needed to pray for their safety. To which Mr. X promptly put Bubba in a head lock and started to goof around, to which point I snapped, and told him that we needed to pray, and this was no time for jacking around. I used another term which I'm not proud of, but it is what it is. I'm not perfect. Shortly there after Mr. X went on a slanderous campaign against me and said many things which were not true about me and what I was doing. I confided to 2 people that I was struggling in my walk, every time I went around his action was to attempt to stare me down, and at times it was very difficult, I wanted to con front him, but I knew that it was not the right time to. I was not a very nice man in my past, I was downright rotten. I was known for not backing down and responding to any threat with swift and severe response. Mr. X was made aware of these confessions and requests for help by my 2 confidants. The next time was when Mr. X was moving into an apartment, I had secured everything that he had needed to comfortably exist in there by myself, and had loaded it and unloaded it by myself into my home so that when the day came he could be able to be prepared. The day came, and I had to do some auto work  for one of the local pastors so he could get to church the next day. I told Mr. X that Bubba was willing to help him, and since I had singlely loaded and unloaded it, he should have no problem with it. He said fine. About an hour into working on the car I got frantic calls from my room mate and my son. The latter being Bubba telling me that Mr. X had lost his temper and proceded to throw things, punch things, and out of fear Bubba had locked himself in the garage so that he would be safe from Mr. X's rampage. I prayed all the way home, and then proceeded to confront Mr. X about what had happened, including admitting what had gone through my mind and asking him for forgiveness. I make no excuses, and quite honestly, when it comes to someone coming between an eminent situation regarding my family, or my son feeling afraid to walk into his own home. I'm gonna have issues with it. I'm not perfect, I'm human, and I will defend and protect my family and their well being with all that I have. I'm human, I make mistakes, but I will live my life as an open book so that when confronted, the truth will be brought into the light. I love each and every one of you and God does too.
