Ain't That The Truth

Before I get a bunch of feedback about the word I used I will apologize now for the bad English. I just wanted to get your attention.
I was hoping to get some feedback about the issues I post on my blog. I was wondering if I say something you disagree with do you stop coming and not read my blog anymore or do you just click out and not read what I write. Then do you come back or are you gone for good? I know speak my mind and not everyone agrees with me.
I have some friends on Facebook that have some very rough opinions. What I do is I hear them out. I may not agree with them but I let them have their say. I listen with an open mind and I try to not to form an opinion until they finish.
Sometimes I will respond to them after I think through what they have said. I have a couple of them that wrote me back privately and said they don’t care what I think to keep my thoughts off of their page. So I honor that wish and I don’t post my thoughts on their page I just read what they say and keep to myself.
On other occasions I have voiced my opinion and they thanked me for my thoughts but we agreed to disagree. I haven’t shut them out or not read their posts. They have a right to their own opinion just as I do.
I have many issues I would like to discuss on my blog but I hesitate because I don’t want to chase off those who are reading now. If I run all of you off then I won’t have any readers.
I got some statics the other day and they say my readership is slightly up. Thank you for that.
Last week I posted about starting a “Dear Pastor Sam” column and I got some good response. I have gotten enough letters to post one each Saturday for the next two months but I need more to keep it going. I didn’t know I had readers in Washington state and some of the Northern states until I opened this up. I also found out that I have several Christian folks who are reading my blog on a regular basis. I want to thank you for reading it.
If you can I wish you would share it with your friends and maybe they would like it. Maybe not but all you can do is try.
Well, until next time!!!
