bottom line.

this is a comment, in part, that i posted on another's blog...this is seemingly taken on a life of its own...

i can't believe i have taken part in twisting things out of context - point of reference from my comments:

I just cringe when denominational lines are blurred and we act as if the Eucharist is the same every where. Its not, and I feel like we turn Jesus's sacrifice into a Triscuit.

i don't find that i blur denominational lines simply because i don't see someone for their denomination - jane, you may feel that others turn Jesus' sacrifice into a triscuit because they don't recognize the True Presence, but i am not going to judge them or their hearts or base a friendship on whether or not we agree on that fact. that is all i am saying, bottom-line. i guess it hurts my feelings that charlie introduces me by acknowledging our religious differences from the outset instead of simply saying, "this is my friend, penni."

jane, i am sorry if i've done anything to hurt you in perpetuating all of this on this or another's blog. it is most certainly not what i intended and if i was able to even post on your blog at 2:00 this morning when i first read everything, it wouldn't have taken on a life of its own. i agree, blogger has its quirks and all things being equal, receiving the "we are unable to complete your request" info when i tried to reply...several times...was just another component that played into all of it, along with all the anonimity of your postings in yesterday's thread. it added up to something that didn't sit well with me. funny thing, this internet.

regardless of what everyone else thought, i was going to delete my thread from earlier this morning, but in between some of the comments is some real wisdom, so i have decided to let it stay so others can learn from it.

however, i am not happy with how i have behaved, and jane, if i have hurt you, i am so sorry.
