While some folks are genuinely concerned, I think most just wa | The Lil' Talk Show w/Brad!

While some folks are genuinely concerned, I think most just want to stir up drama by constantly telling me all these "bad things" about 'so and so' that I consider a friend and advising me that I best distance myself and flat out repudiate him or her. First of all, most 'friends' on social media really truly don't know each other but rather are, more so, acquaintances that happen to have similar values and beliefs. You telling me that some friend of mine is the devil cuz you heard such and such or that you don't see eye to eye w/them concerning 'xyz' is totally between you and them. It has NOTHING to do w/me! I'm not 'pickin' sides' or who's 'team' to be on. It's NOT how I roll. Now, if I personally know something as an ABSOLUTE FACT, that's different. But I'm not into the "he said / she said" mess. I am NOT going to throw someone under the bus that's been good to me, nice to me, & supportive of me based upon someone else's feelings for, or opinions concerning, that person. You don't like a person? OK that's fine but unless you have absolute rock solid proof of something, I'm NOT interested. And quite honestly, over the years I've learned that there's always 2 sides to every story and usually the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
I try my best to always give people "the benefit of the doubt" until they prove to me otherwise. I'm not out actively looking for stuff on folks. I don't have the time for such as I am too busy striving to do my best to be as productive and a blessing to others as I can be in this short window of time given to us called 'Life'. I'm not into the drama and your problem w/so and so is between you and them - NOT me! Again, I refuse to denounce a friend over your feelings towards them. If that was the case, we'd ALL be in trouble as I'm sure each of you (Just Like Me) have done and said things in our past that we're not very proud of. Thankfully, God doesn't look at us in that regard. BTW, I also do my best to extend to each of you that same "benefit of the doubt" and treat you w/that same grace until you prove to me otherwise! Now, if that happens, I can forgive ya but I'm done as far as us having some sort of friendly relationship. U can count me out lol!
Lastly, we must understand that we can be friends w/someone w/out having to agree w/them on every single thing. Friend, no 2 people are going to ever agree on everything and if you don't believe me, just get married! In closing, pls know that I love each and every one of you and appreciate your friendship and support as we all do our best to live this life God has given us, to stand for what's right in the sight of The Lord, to stand for our country and this land that we love, and to be warriors for the truth while doing it all not for our own glory but rather for HIS GLORY! - Brad
