your mam grounded you from them then. Its happened to us all. I got one when i was quite extremely rude to my mum.

[John]

yeah. this one was because i wasnt thinking. it really wasnt like something horrible, but i still shouldnt have done it:

me and my two sisters didnt have our keys with us so we were left outside. my little sister wanted me to help her with her homework and i said no. she called me a ***** in return. it was an extremely rude and spastic response.

so i talked to her about that- i was hurt. while i was talking to her, my other sister was being very annoying and interrupting everything that i said with smart remarks.

imn return i got very stressed out at my other sister as well and started talking to her. then she said she wouldnt stop me if i ran away.

that hurt. i left immeadiately to walk away, going down the block towards my school. at about halfway i turned back because i was calmed down.

when i came back, my little sister was crying (the one that called me the word) and she told me she thought i had run away.

i walked away to calm down, but if i would have thought for a moment, i really would have realized that i was giving the impression that i was running away.

then i found out that my other sister had walked around the block. she did it for the same reason, alongside the reason that she was looking for me.

anyay, my little sister had gotten a neighbor becasue both my other sister and me were gone. (i had gone looking for my other sister.) when i was coming back, i told the neighbor that everything was fine because i saw my other sister coming back to the house. after that, we just settled down. the situation was solved.

but then, my step mom had come home and we didnt tell her anyhting seeing as how it was over witha nd solved.

that was the wrong thing to do.

the next day at work, our neighbor had told my step mom, and she wanted to know. i got introuble because i left my sisters on the porch, gave the impression that i was running away, and didnt tell my step mom about the situation.

so, i deserved every bit of punishment that i got.

dont know why i said all that, but there you go if you want to know.

shalom- john

Glad to have you back. Thanks for the honesty. Like James said, "We all stumble in many ways" but we are still being "conformed to His likeness"

Yeah, that's something I was in sometimes in past - I would say that yes, in your age.

Out of computer, but it hadn't such a bad conclusion - not to write to my friends (and especially if it's a part of Lord's kingdom) because I've never had an internet at my home.

Being out of computer, as I look into past now, I realize it was quite a good thing for me as I was a computer addict, gamer, wasting the time gaming. And what's more, if someone managed to get me out of comp., I got angry and was looking for it elsewhere.

My thanx to Lord that I found out it was vanity. I was a believer that time until today, but these things... well...

I hope that Lord hadn't dislike me for that as well as I hope that He don't consider it to be a great sin against Him, such as idolatry.
But of course, none of us is righteous, without Lord. May this be a testimony for you that you do not follow such steps.

I'm glad that you are back, John.
Sh'lom!

thank you all. glad to see you again.
