Our class reunion has drummed up some drama. The saga continues until July 25th, when the parties take place. I haven't been directly involved in all of it, but since a friend & I worked to gather about 100 email address or other contact info, pick a locale or two, assign a date, time, (yes, pretty much everything) we were thrust into the middle. Anyway, so I've been "letting go" of frustration & anger bc as far as I have learned, being angry gives someone else power over you. I don't want anyone to have that kind of power over me. (Thanks, Pastor Eric for reminding me of this via sermons & conversations in G'ville.)
Also, I have reflected on being mean to people & how in the end there is no joy in that. Sure, one may find that "an eye for an eye" has it's moment of "feel good," but long after that there is pain for all, regret & an empty place where forgiveness needs to be. (Lots of reasons for "turning the other cheek"...)
So, in conclusion (as I take a break from mopping to ponder), I forgive you, those who are currently wronging me. I harbor no ill will. And I pray that you, too, know peace.
Amen.

it takes a much bigger person to just let it go, then it does to mouth off and get angry in the heat of the moment... good for you Sonya. send me an email via facebook if you wanna discuss reunion stuff... I know you said you had some questions...
Sonya,
I am sorry this is going on...as it is very obvious who is the offender. I was telling my husband about all of it the other day and he very passionately told me what should be written back to said girl. I told him that it was not worth the words. Some people change for the better in 10 years and some don't change at all. It is a lot of hard work to put something like this together and for someone to be so rude about....where have they been for the past 6+ months of planning. It always seemse like the ones that are the last to help are those that the first to throw rude comments out. I am truly sorry and hope that your whole time at the reunion is not ruined.
Sarah.
