Please let me let you all know where my head was at the time of my mean post to mingez. This is not a reason for me to have acted the way I did. I just want you all to know where my head was at.
This post was at 4 am not able to sleep at the end of a seven day strech where my wife and I had been working on a very special project. We had just given our time that week to cook supper for fifty folks each night coming together for a mission. These were half people we knew and half we were just meeting for the first time but all had a strong belief that we all shared. Every night after the meal we would all gather in a cramped little room and set two people per phone where people from all over the country would call in and we would answer the calls and do what ever we could for them.
This was at the Billy Graham TV Crusade Call Center. When you see Billy Graham on the TV there is a 1-800 # that you can call for a live one on one prayer request, spiritual guideance, or salvation request. During that week our 12 phones recieved so many phone calls. We are at one of ten call centers across the nation and Canada. The need for spritual help is so great. Broken homes, dieing loved ones, HIV victims, people all alone, sucides, rape victims, homosexuals worried that God does not love them, the list is so long with the greastest being people who just want to start a relationship with GOD for the first time. So many have to go to the end of the road to find they need him. For all of these we are there to do what we can for.
We do not take money of any kind from these people and we do not even let the talk about sending us money. This is not what we are there for. We are there solely for the callers. 24 folks on the phones 2 per phone people on the computers and people in the prayer room and runners getting the info to where it needes to be. That week I talked to so many from all over the country. I was cused out by a musslim for answering his call. I was brought to tears by people that were just so down and out that God was all they had left to grasp for. Some times we have to be knocked to our backs before we ever look up.
This is not posted to get you all to feel anything different for ol tug and his public attack on mingez. That was just wrong no matter what. I just let mingez total disreguard for God get to me and I lost it. This is the reason wrong but it is the truth. I hope you all can see where my head was at and know at least a little bit of what I was going through. I have kept my religion and beliefs to myself here on Jeepz. The folks that have come to Tennessee know I am ready to go wheel any time but come Sunday morning you can go alone till after church or your welcome to go to church with me.
So I hoe at least you can see where my head was at. I know I was wrong to single out and attack. Again Sorry Mingez and you still have my favorite xj! tug
