		<description>It wasn&#039;t easy when it was happening but today I would have to say that it&#039;s pretty darn easy. 

I don&#039;t look back. We were &quot;friends&quot; for a season, and that&#039;s that. No sense in crying over spilled milk. 

I think it&#039;s ok to agree to disagree until at which point you can pick up where you left off in order to try and find common ground. 

When people use the agree to disagree mantra for the purpose of shutting somebody up.. well.. it&#039;s because they are too weak to have an adult conversation.. to be real.. or authentic. 

The behavior who&#039;s physical attributes are that of a toddler&#039;s tantrum are of no use to me. It&#039;s a great big ol&#039; waste of time. 

Sometimes what we believe is &quot;friendship&quot; is really something else... wishful thinking. 

This was a valuable lesson learned for me and one that I would completely do over and over again to learn the very same lesson.

I thank God every day that he shows me what I need to see in this world so I don&#039;t have to keep repeating the process. 

God is good.</description>

		<description>I used to think it was decent to &#039;agree to disagree&#039;... but the more I examine and learn and study history and humanity and philosophy, the more I am certain that I have arrived at my conclusions the old fashioned way, by mental work and careful thought.  I am not an &quot;ist&quot; and I don&#039;t mindlessly embrace an &quot;ism&quot;.  I am a human being who has earned through study a worldview that is consistent with TRUTH AND REALITY.  

If I had a friend that insisted I was wrong but generously agreed to overlook it &#039;for the sake of our friendship&#039; I&#039;d step back.  On what basis do you HAVE a friendship?  Is it really possible for two people to BE friends when one is, as I am, convinced of the truth and reality of his worldview and the other believes the OPPOSITE?

I don&#039;t think so.  It&#039;s just the price of having a firm set of beliefs.  What boggles is that any thinking functioning person does NOT believe what I do.  Because I know I am not stupid, not easily led, not given to being swayed by emotion...  

sigh.  This stuff isn&#039;t as easy as it should be.</description>

		<description>Hello Angela,
I know it&#039;s a little late, but I just read this blog entry today.  I&#039;m sorry that you lost a friend over political/personal views.  I think of all people - you know that the devil turned something good into bad and used it to his benefit.  He got you two to dislike each other and turned Christian against Christian (if that&#039;s her and your faith-I&#039;m assuming). I don&#039;t know her and I only know what I read about you, but you sound like a strong woman of God and you do your best to obey His word and live a good life.  But remember - &quot;When you refuse to love people because they&#039;re hard to love, you forget the fact that God always loves you, even though you&#039;re not always easy to love.&quot;  Take the high road and extend a peace offering to her, if you haven&#039;t already.  It&#039;s the right thing to do. Now if she&#039;s a back-biting, fake Christian - just allow God to love her through you when you&#039;re unable to do it yourself. Pray for her and accept her for her faults and agree to disagree. 
That&#039;s my 2-cents. 
Be blessed!</description>

		<description>Well it&#039;s unfortunate this all had to go down the way it did, but good day to you, Gayla. I think that was just un-necessary to come on your blog and put all that. You know what I think about all this girly. **hugs**</description>

		<description>Gayla McCord IS tasteless and cruel. You just haven&#039;t been around her long enough to figure it out. 

You should she what she posted about me on her blog. What a pot stirring @$$ you are to come over here and add your two cents. 

Gayla McCord dumping me was the best wake up call that ever happened to me. It taught me just how fake people can be. They will do and say whatever they need to in order to make the best use out of you as she did me. 

If I wanted to I could have posted the entire transcript but I did not. I only posted the part that hurt me the most. 

Now take your spineless attitude and don&#039;t bother to come back. For all I know it&#039;s really Gayla posting as &quot;Tiffany.&quot;</description>

		<description>Think about all the tax payers that ARE inclined to start charitable organizations that are making a difference in a lot of lives out there!  

Now THAT is what I&#039;m talking about. I can think of a lot of organizations that I have already listed in my great ideas section that would make PERFECT examples and those are just the tip of the iceberg. 

Americans are extremely generous with their money which is another reason why the government needs to keep their hands off! With everything that these politicians want to do.. they stand to take from the people that are the most giving of their time, talents and resources up to and including cold hard cash.</description>
