I know you're right. And in all likelihood, I'm fretting over something that's not even going to happen.But I'm thinking about someone I know online who currently has over 600 friends on Facebook... in his early 40s now, he looked up scads of people from his distant past, going all the way back to elementary school... and had fun reconnecting with all of them.
But a number of people "unfriended" him when they found out he was gay. And he was hurt by this.
I myself am not as thick-skinned as some think I am... in fact, I'm very sensitive. If someone friended and then unfriended me on Facebook, I don't think I'd be able to get over it.
I know I shouldn't feel like that, but I do.
And it's not even that I think any of these old friends are going to "hate" me for who I am... I know they won't. But I might hear something like, "Oh, Andrew, we love you and want you to come back to the Lord. We love your soul. We'll pray for you." And I'm sure such a sentiment would be quite well-intentioned, but I really think I don't care to hear it.
And now for this week's Twitter updates. I still don't really trust my computer and have severely curtailed my time online lately, so this week there are only two:
● Eating a pint of Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream right now... was hot and needed to cool off...
● Reading "Ordaining Reality: The Science Behind the Power of Positive Thinking" by Joseph E. Donlan. http://tinyurl.com/c82jd9
