Feedback from Samson Society friends that's genuinely helpful / hits the mark is good as gold. I had one of those moments this morning.
My mouth can be my undoing. Just ask men who know me really well (or my wife). Sensitivity is not a virtue of mine, therefore I tend to say it first and ask questions later. And this can result in much heartache on the receiving end of my words, coming from an arrogant, almost 50 year-old asshole.
I told my friend (in response to his criticism), that I need to be listening a whole lot more and saying tremendously less. That's Biblical, and I believe it's absolutely true for me today as well as into the future.
Therefore, I've deleted a number of posts within this blog as a result of this helpful feedback, and I plan to, going forward, not post within this www representative of our wonderful Metro Jackson Samson Society community unless it's appropriate to the following goal:
"Reinforcing the end goal of fostering authentic community amongst Christian men."
Of course, I'm readily available to be a recipient of more gold. Bring it on!
