Shutting It Down
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
I haven't blogged in a while. In fact, I haven't had the passion to write due to so many changes, both positive and negative, in my life. While I will pass on the opportunity to divulge what has occurred, (and is occurring), with me I will say that I have concluded that I need to "refresh" some of my Facebook friends.
When I first activated my fb account a few years ago I believed it was an exciting way to keep up with old military friends, former childhood friends, family, new acquaintances and the like. I have a proclivity to encourage people, love people, support the dreams of others and to sometimes share experiences from my past and/or present. But there are several hateful people out there in Facebook land. You peer on the pages of others solely to criticize their lives or to speak ill of their blessings. I have never been one to attempt to collect an abundance of people to call "friend" because I believe this word has lost its meaning in our modern world. I used to wonder why some of my fb friends would take a break or simply shut-down their sites. I no longer wonder .
If I do decide to emerge with a new page in the future I ask that those who are offended by my blogs, my positive attitude, my tendency to love people of all races, my straightforwardness, my belief in confronting untruths; please do not bother to solicit my friendship. I truly love so many of you but some of you have bewildered me with your ways.
I wish you love,
Dennis
