My Problem is ME, And It Cannot Be Blamed On Anyone Else...

I hate watching television anymore. The comedies that are on...very few have scenes in them that are funny unless it's women laughing at themselves, because I hate watching men be disrespected. Yes, I know that I have my moments, I am an imperfect person in a fallen world, and until Christ returns, well, so be it. We're going to have problems between the genders. But I hate it when women put men down just so we can feel a little bit higher on our horse. I have no problems with equal rights for all. I think we should all be allowed to vote. We should all be allowed to run for president if we wish. However, it's when we trample and put each other down that I have problems. Especially when we as women are supposed to be respecting the men in our lives, and men, y'all are supposed to be loving the women in your lives. As sisters, as friends, as wives, whatever category they fall into. Because women want to be loved more than they want respect, and men want respect more than love. If they don't feel respect, they don't feel loved.

And then I'm one to talk! Pssh! I go disrespecting my Sgt. 1st Class Military Pen Pal, I was plain rude! They say actions speak louder than words, does that count over e-mail? I have to go with yes. Oh! It's especially annoying that I can't jump up, run over to the offended, give him a hug and make it right! It's not that easy. Maybe it is....and I'm over complicating it...I feel like I offended him, when all I wanted to do was ask him...I should've known better... There was once a gay guy when I first started for Round Table, who flirted to try and get me to cook for him, then I found out he's gay, so I just didn't want a repeat of that. Then more recently, there was the player. He was straight, but neither God nor Linda would have it. You know, I don't think it's fair to compare those two guys to a Sergeant in the Army. I don't like to disrespect guys, but They're dirt compared to him. He's a really nice guy, didn't deserve to be asked that question, and I should've been able to figure it out. Like when he asked me to be his Valentine, and a few days earlier said "You're edible in my book!" just little things....Oh, I MUST mention somewhere...he's also pretty cute. =) Like, putting George Clooney, Pitt, Cruise, Willis, Orlando Bloom, Antonio Banderas, and Depp all to SHAME with his looks! Yeah, it's true that I never thought all those stars were good looking anyway, and the only one he probably can't outdo in looks is Keanu Reeves. =D Reeves is really cute!!! But, really out of my league. So, like I said, my MPP is pretty cute. But, hello he's a Soldier in the U.S. Army! Those guys are usually in good shape, and cute! =) Best of both worlds!

I found a song a while ago by Kutless on the Sea of Faces CD, entitled "Troubled Heart" and it goes like this:



a screaming man falls to his knees
his broken heart inflicts the pain
he's withdrawn, no one knows
his name one mistake, now he's lost in shame

amidst the pain, you're not alone
though you can't see through the haze
his eyes of love are staring down
and he feels your troubled heart

yes it's true, that someone cares
your perfect friend, never leaving you
strength is gone, and you're feeling cold
you will know the truth that He told

by your grace you repair the broken pieces within
somehow you take a man and make something more
out of him



That's a pretty cool song. When I first saw it, it reminded me of how a man might feel after he's disrespected or torn down by a woman in his life. But it also talks about how he has hope in Jesus Christ. Between Christ repairing a broken and charred heart, and a friend uplifting and encouraging, I could see how this passage from 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 is SO true "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. (NKJV)" But this doesn't just apply to a man, it also applies to a woman. I'm just saying man, because I'm reading "For Young Woman Only," and it's focusing on guys. And now a song by my friend Bryce Cooley, aka Coolfield is singing "Hey little boy, why so upset? Why you holding in your pain? You don't need to keep on hurting, come over here and I'll explain...." He's cool...pun intended. =D Aight. I'm outta here.
