What I really wanted to say…

I have a blogger that hates me. This is not a totally unfamiliar situation. Back in the day on the old AOL message boards I had a group of Wiccans who weren’t to fond of me either. Then there were the liberal Catholics at The Birth Control and Catholic Church forum (which I see is trying to open again after shutting down for a few years.) JCecil and NMH weren’t exactly fans either. I have other criticisms of note in my side bar as well.

I am not exactly sure where Amy and I got off on the wrong foot, but we’ve been misstepping all over the place ever since then. However I guess she wants to make one thing perfectly clear.

Whatever esteem you may afford to Elena, she is also a sinner, as are all of us

I don’t think anyone who has read this very public blog for the past 4 1/2 years would dispute that. It’s not a fact that I can easily hide. I have my Lithuanian grandmother’s feisty spirit and my German grandfather’s stubborn streak. Mix it all with my Father’s Spanish heritage and it can be a spicy mixture.

What I have tried to do for myself over the past 4 1/2 years on this blog as well as VTC, is hold myself accountable. A feisty spirit is no excuse for not finding compassion. A stubborn streak can bend with humility, and spicy is not a substitute for maturity.

What you have here is a blog of a woman in the making. Sometimes making a mess, true enough. But what I practice here is therapy for how I try to live in the real world. I’m not perfect. Never claimed to be. I am however, working on perfection as our Lord commanded. As our Lord also said, those impurities can only be skimmed off when they are heated.
