Hello all you readers out there that actually read this ridiculous ranting about anything. I wanted to update you all on why there were LOTS of posts, and then NOTHING.

Well, as I am trying to become a writer, I need to prioritize what I’m writing. If all I write is a bunch of retarded nonsense about whatever irked me for the week, the I’d be a bad fiction writer. Not that people that do that aren’t good writers. On the contrary, I admire someone who can be this way so very often and with such clever wording.

I am trying to further my fiction writing though, as I feel called for that, and that’s what I’ve been writing for the past few weeks. I’m co-authoring a fiction book, and it’s going to be amazing!

Don’t get me wrong here, there will be things that rub me the wrong way and need to be addressed on here. I will not withhold my rage from you! Do not fear! And, if I see something just plain silly, I’ll probably report that too. It just likely won’t be as consistent.

I apologize to all of you who were really getting into my randomness, and I promise it won’t stop, but maybe it will be more thought-through (stranger things have happened).

Also, for those people asking about my credit card situation… Got new ones, still don’t know anything else, and the excess money was stricken from the record (thank God!).

To recap: Expect delays in posting.

Oh, and the posting at The Underfold will continue as scheduled (because I have to do that one!), and White Board Artwork (randomly).

To whom it may concern,

As mad as I am that I now have to cancel my brand-new credit card because you thought you’d blow $600+ at Walmart, I’m not as mad as my wife was. Luckily, things of this nature are tracked. You know, times, dates, video surveillance footage. Whatever. I hope they find you.

Lucky for me, the credit card company realized that you were using my card. I’d like you to know that you are a dishonest person and deserve punishment for your actions. I would love to say that my first response was forgiveness, but it wasn’t. My first response was anger, and I’ve already had to edit this letter because I want to tell you something more important.

We all deserve punishment. We’ve all screwed up. Everyone’s a sinner. Thankfully, there’s a way to get out of that rut. His name is Jesus Christ, and I hope you find him. I’m praying for you through my frustration that you would come to know Him. I’m praying that He would help me to forgive you. It is only money.

Don’t mistake my prayer for your salvation as me thinking that you don’t deserve Earthly punishment, you know, like jail time for credit fraud. There are consequences to our actions on Earth, after all. I’m not trying to hide that I’m mad, but I am trying to offer you a way out of your life of crime, fraud, theft, and whatever else you may be into.

I am not God. I’m having a hard time writing this. I don’t know if you’ll ever see it, and you probably won’t, but if you do, know that I’m praying for you, and I’m praying for help for me to forgive you. I’m mad right now, so it’s difficult to think about, but I am praying for help and for you.

“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”- 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)

That was the “Verse of the Day” at BibleGateway.com. How fitting and right. The Lord is good. I pray that you get to know Him better.

Prayerfully,

Bman
