Epic FAIL – when your mouth outruns your brain
Today, from on instance to the next, I turned into one of those Christians that give the others a bad name.
I found myself in a conversation that got overheard by the last person you would want to over hear it.
But it is worse than that. Earlier this week I invited someone to church, they said that sounded like a great idea and that they would be there. That same person had said some pretty flattering (professional) things about me to their superiors., after I’d sat for a few hours helping them through some pretty confusing stuff.
And then today while discussing our frustration with a particular project, some things were said that should not have been said, and some things that should have been said were not. And while I had no malicious intent in anything I said I take full responsibility for how it must have sounded. And I’m sure it sounded bad.
I shudder to think how many conversations like that one go unnoticed. This one didn’t so I was forced to evaluate my part in it.
We spoke a little while later and I offered a genuine heartfelt apology for my part of what went down.
But words, once spoken are difficult, if not impossible, to take back.
Today I was the hypocrite. And I feel like an ass.
Wow. It's Quiet Here...
