- Rev. Sam Martin
Just For Your Information

It is not my intentions to make anyone mad at me. I do not have a beef with anyone. Not everyone will like me. That is hard for me to believe because I am such a likable person but I have found out that I can rub people wrong and so if I rubbed you wrong or you don’t like me I am sorry.
For many years I felt like I had to act in such a way because of what people thought. Now I don’t have to live that way anymore so I am not out to impress anyone. I get along with almost everyone and if you want to be my friend I usually don’t have a problem with that. The time has come that I don’t have to impress anyone so I am living a happier life.
I know many folks are going through life trying to impress those around them. I just feel I don’t need to impress anyone so please don’t be offended.
Sometimes I say stupid stuff and if I offend you I am sorry. If you let me know that I offended you I will apologize. If you are offended with me and you don’t tell me I won’t know as I do not read minds and so I wouldn’t know.
When I was a Pastor people would get sick and some who were taken to the hospital never told me but expected me to know it. Many I never visited because I didn’t know they were in the hospital. But some folks thought I knew everything and so they didn’t call me and when I didn’t visit them they got mad at me. I don’t always hear about everything that is going on so unless you tell me I won’t know.
I had a friend die and I didn’t make it to the funeral. Several months later I tried to call him and his wife told me he had died. I told her I was sorry to hear that. She asked why I didn’t come to the funeral and I told her I didn’t know that he died because nobody told me. So if you want me to know things you need to let me know.
