Safety Nets and Venom

Thought I'd be writing about Keji topics, but-- after reading the blogs and comments, talking to Jennah, and phoning Don to find out what had obviously been deleted from Chris's webpage guestbook- leads me here---- what to say? When I changed my template months ago, I also changed the word Links to "My Safety Net"- did you notice it to the left of the page?? Never dreamed I'd be needing it for a safe landing-- so thank you all, including Don, for caring enough to protect me from the vicious assault on my character and parenting in the name of God!!! Don saved the comment, but I could hear Chris saying, "Mom, don't read it!" He hated to cause me pain, so for him, I chose not to see it, and for you, much love and thanks for sparing me from the venomous spewing --- I would have been hurt-- you know me well-- and instead of pain and torment, I feel the love and caring of my blog family, and with tears streaming down my face, I say thank you--- for your love , compassion, and mercy--- and that I believe is the true essence of knowing God------- I am saddened that Jennah was hurt--- she didn't deserve that, thankfully Mike was spared----
When I opened the latest issue of Baha'i Canada, the quote on page one was in part,
" ....ye must show forth tenderness and love to every human being, even to your enemies, and welcome them all with unalloyed friendship, good cheer, and loving kindness. When you meet with cruelty and persecution at another's hands, keep faith with him; when malevolence is directed your way, respond with a friendly heart. To the spears and arrows rained upon you, expose your breasts for a target mirror-bright; and in return for curses, taunts, and wounding words, show forth abounding love. ....." Abdu'l-Baha

Will talk more about Keji tomorrow- hopefully!! Love you all!!
