    Lol.

    Couple things:

    It wasn't a knee injury.

    It wasn't serious.

    Couple more things...

    We have a complete turnover of the medical staff from the Roy era.

    Nobody likes a whiner who plays the victim... It's annoying...

    Bitching, simply means exactly what you were doing, whining and playing the victim.

    It doesn't mean you are a bitch.

    It's English your first language?

    You whine incessantly. Figure out out.

    He's Nurkalicious. And you know better than to be calling people clowns.

    He had a rough start, but he's settling in. ignore his first week or so and give him a chance. I think he'll be alright.

    But you get innumerable chances to give grace, and I implore you to do so.

    Lol. That's me. Even when he's not with me he's in the room. I'm always talking about my greatest accomplishment.

    The ability to give grace is not dependent upon the recipient.

    Grace is a two way street IMO.

    Hmm...we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. You have a different definition of the term than I do.

    I'm never going to show some people grace. Ever.

    Trump will never get it from me.

    So no we don't define it differently. We simply choose different times to express it.

    There are just some people I'm never going to give grace to.

    Our new poster may receive it from me or not. It depends on him.

    When you say "it depends on him", that indicates that you and I define it differently.

    It's OK.

    Courteous goodwill (the definition) doesn't determine who should receive it. It doesn't indicate who's deserving of it...

    Grace is:

    Gods
    Riches
    At
    Christ
    Expense

    The thing about grace is the recipient may not deserve it, but he (or she) needs to accept it change and be better with the grace they've been given. I think it's important to be willing to extend it to everyone, but there's a vital step the recipient has to take.
    Now I understand why you would say you're not willing to extend it to certain people, but and this is my opinion so I am not trying to speak for you, I believe that it comes from a place of not thinking the recipient would accept the gift (so to speak) and become better a better person with it...

    Also, I think this is an OT discussion and probably doesn't belong here.
