 You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

You can however get yourself a smarter horse.

I've had it with this particular horse. I'm fed up with it's inability to tell the truth. I'm fed up with it's obstinance. I'm fed up with it's immaturity. I'm fed up with it's irresponsibility. I'm fed up with it's foolishness. I'm fed up with it's steadfast refusal to do what it knows is right. I'm fed up with it's selfish disregard for anything but what it wants. I'm...just fed up.

It's sad because this horse could be a thoroughbred. Instead, he chooses to wallow in the manure. Maybe he will choose to be more than he is now choosing to be. I hope so. Since he is probably going to be in a new stable, I hope his new owner has better success with him.

it's funny how people talk about other people without saying a word. That speaks volumes about christians.

Would you rather us use names?

And I might add that the message was not talking ABOUT someone, but TO someone. It's the "last straw" for this horse.

 No using names isn't your style. If at first you don't succeed, stoop to that persons level.

Don, even Jesus spoke in parable, without using any names. He told stories, trying to make a point to those who were listening. Was he stooping to somebody else's level?

Then leave the parable speaking to Jesus.

Nope. If we are to be like Jesus, maybe we should take His lead. I keep hoping something somebody says will get through to you. You are destroying yourself and you don't have to. James 4:7 says, "Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you." If you had been at work today, your mind could have been occupied by the things it should be thinking about - not about missing her. You were on AIM a lot today, but you didn't speak to Beth or Steve. You are hiding again. Apologies are nice, but you have to actually put works behind them. But right now all you have to do is say, "God, please come in and take control of my life." And then let go - quit trying to hold the door shut. Please listen. Please listen.

I was just logged on to AIM that doesn't mean I was sitting at the computer. troys verbally attacking me. steve is attacking me and for what? to get a point across. Laura walked out on me. no one wants to talk, so  I don't want to listen anymore.

Steve is not attacking you. He is simply telling you that your chances are running out. You no longer have the assurance of a job. Last week you could have come in or called and said you wanted the job, and you would have had it. That changed today. You have to come in Wednesday, on time, and they will all talk with you and THEY will decide. Last week they left it up to him, and he did not fire you. He chose to give you another chance.

Are you aware that you can print a log of all the times a person is actually on AIM? I mean actively talking. And why did Laura walk out? She wouldn't have walked out for no reason. Was it because you didn't go to work today? And don't say no one wants to talk to you. I am talking to you, and you are arguing with me. You mean Troy doesn't want to talk. You cannot expect him to be happy about this.

It does not have to be this way. You can change it.

Don, why do you think this was about you? At what point in the list of character flaws did you say, "Hey, this all sounds like me"?
