Mixed Signals

I have no clue how to write this...not sure where to start...

So, I'll jump in.

My heart is a little sad today.

Not because of anything here on the Groves' front - life here is incredibly wonderful in all areas.

NOPE - nothing to do with us at all.

Well - maybe, what I want to talk about touches home a little.

What triggered the sadness?

Whitney Houston's death.

Not her death specifically - some of our reactions/judgments/rants...etc...about her.

WTH

For those throwing some thoughts out there - that are less than compassionate...

Have you ever been in her shoes?

I have.

Have you ever struggled with addiction?

I have.

Have you ever needed a 2nd chance - 50x over?

I have.

Have you ever failed...again & again?

I have.

So, for you, to simply land on her battle with addiction as being the justification for your rants - saddens me.

Especially, the rants of the good ole christians...at it again.

It's times like these, that I want to distance myself from christians...

We come across cold...seemingly indifferent to the real stories of life.

I don't get it.

If you want to get on some high horse - do it at no one's expense.

Pick a better time to state your opinion.

Did you know Whitney?

I didn't.

Therefore, I don't have a right to judge her.

I'm saddened at our loss.

I'm saddened by your judgment.

TBH - it feels too close to home...
