Wish I hadn't said that.

Have you ever said something that didn't seem so bad to you at the time, but years later you'd look back and wonder what you were thinking?

Years ago, while in the military, I was talking to a friend of mine, - we'll call him Jake - and a good mutual friend - whom we'll call Bob - came up in conversation. Jake informs me that Bob's family had met with trajedy. Now at this time, I was a brand new Christian, full of zeal and - as you will soon find out - lacking wisdom and love to the point that it would register zero on a meeter. When I heard the news, I suggested that it was Bob's past sins that brought the fate upon his family. Yes, that was the worst thing to ever say about a good friend, especially when you claim to be Christian.

Though I doubt Jake even remembers the conversation, the fact that I said that about Bob fills me with such shame. It's been bugging me for a few weeks now. And by my own reasoning, my family should have met the same fate many times over due to my own sins.

This is just another example of how a Christian ought not to act. I state time and time again in my blogs that I'm not perfect by any means. Those very things that Christian shouldn't do to others I've done at some point in my life. It's all very humbling, which I'm certain I need to expierence.
