I do get extremely defensive. Sometimes I take criticism as someone telling me i'm not good enough....something I used to, and still maybe struggle with. Your points of preponderance always make me think, and take my subjective outtakes on specific things in my life to the next level. I think my BLOG would be greatly lacking if you stopped commenting. Please do not stop, do not even tweak your thought process in the slightest bit. I will remember that in the future and react differently. Your words are kind ANONYMOUS, and I know you do not intentionally mean to degrade any part of me.Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01496774840232416833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36820595.post-16728040971089625362008-12-07T16:52:00.000-08:002008-12-07T16:52:00.000-08:00am not intent on being argumentive with you, but i...am not intent on being argumentive with you, but i think if you stepped back and read your posts with a open mind you would see that there is a distinct note of self gratification and self congratulation on your part for all your good deeds and patting your back for what you do..You do good things for alot of people and i give you great props for that. You seem to be a caring person who is trying to make a differance. But, you have a tendency to give the impression of looking down on others who are not as "enlightened" as you, and that you somehow need to save them from their lives. Why are you not in seminary school, or studying to be a teacher in a religious setting if you feel you can touch so many lives. Why when you speak of your upcoming ski trip do you feel the need to mention that they are old friends that you did wild things and made bad decisions with, or that they still make bad decisions. These are just observers questions, not someone intent on argueing. Do you need to end every post response that you dont like with a sarcastic comment? accepting constructive and objective opinions from others is a good quality to have. Mikey i think you are a much better person than me. you dont know me and i dont know you personally, just from your blog. You have a potential gift that you can share with many people, but you have to be willing to accept people questioning you without becoming defiant or defensive.Just my rant, please respond and let me know if you would prefer me to shut up and quit posting..I will respect your opinion and response. As always my best wishes to youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36820595.post-43289307887528860322008-12-06T22:08:00.000-08:002008-12-06T22:08:00.000-08:00To ANONYMOUS: do you even read my words?

I enjoyed the Catholic MASS very much, when I said "TO ME, it all seemed very robot like," I meant that because...well you would be extremely unaware as a NON-CATHOLIC to not view it that way. When I looked at the service through TOM's eyes, I saw it as something completely different. So by your standards, I should completely accept Latter Day Saints, Jehovah's Witnesses,Daoism,Buddhism and the many other sacrilegious faith's? I shake my head as I write this. You do not observe with intent to better anyone, you just like to argue.Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01496774840232416833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36820595.post-40601330309503487752008-12-06T18:29:00.000-08:002008-12-06T18:29:00.000-08:00catholicism is every bit as "christian" and releva...catholicism is every bit as "christian" and relevant as yours, or any other religion, as long as we are all worshipping God, RIGHT?...You have to be the most judgemental person of anyone who does or believes any differant way than you that i have ever seen.<BR/>Having the holy spirit in you, and God working in and through you means you have understanding and acceptance of ALL PEOPLE, and ALL RELIGIONS, despite what you believe. You strike me as a very goog person, with great intentions, and a potentially great future. Being more open to other ideas, and being less worried about tooting your own horn might help you make that next spiritual step. Shouldn't we all do good and help others because we want to, and its the right thing to do, not for any self glory or ego satisfaction. Just a observation.
