My most popular post just hit 1,000 views. I wrote “After prayerful consideration…” five years ago, and someone reads this post almost every day. I was upset at the time, and my thoughts and feelings must have touched lot of nerves.
I barely remember the situation that prompted my words seven years ago. A trusted leader wanted to step away from responsibility, and used the guise of prayer to justify her actions. At the time, it hit hard. In hindsight, it was just one of those things. I hate it when people frame their words with insincerity. Just be honest and straightforward. I’m a big boy. I can take it.
I have no idea why this post became so popular. I was just venting. I’m not holding a grudge of any kind. The person who inspired this post disappeared off the face of the earth. Life went on. And today few even remember her name.
But I remember the emails, the texts, and the letters. She sent emails, and I responded with texts, emails, and hand-written letters. Tell me more. Help me understand. I want to learn.
I never heard from her again. She never responded to email, texts, or letters. I tried so hard. I saw her once at Walmart, but she glanced at me with disdain. And that was five years later.
I don’t know why these words get a lot of attention. I don’t know what makes a post popular. I don’t know if I care. I just hope my words gave some food for thought and hope for the future.
Waite for it...
