one more thing...

My name is Steven J Chase.
At this time in my life I'm In Training to be a Pastor!
Its a journey, learning to deal with people & issues but more so having a greater walk with God!

I say that to say, I'm an fairly honest person, some would say I'm blunt! I speak what's on my mind, while being mindful of the person!
I have a high tolerance for people but a low tolerance level for stupidity!

I have done wrong & right in my life. They both helped me to be who & where I am now. I'm not perfect and will never be.

Sometimes the people in your life that affect/disappoint you the most are family! Friends you can change & replace, family, not so much!

I'm not a story so I don't take kindly to you reporting on me & my interactions! The internet, more so facebook & twitter are "social sites", there for online social interactions. So what I do online should have no effect on your personal well being. Who I add or communicate with online is MY business! Ok cnn!!!

If you think that adding someone on fb would open a door to your spiritual demise you have NO idea as to how the spiritual realm works.
God, Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit are not my friends on Facebook, but they have a major impact on my life! And the same could be said for the negative/evil spirits, they don't need to be a friend to affect you. Its up to you as to what you allow in.

So don't stand in the oven talking about me opening the back door and allowing the heat from outside in.
Its time to get over it and move on with your life! Leave me out of your drama!

And there's always the UNFRIEND button!

Vent

It's rear that I use here to vent, but it's my private space to do so.
It's challenging enough to be a Pastor in training but to have to deal with people's attitude is upsetting even more.
I'm the type of guy that can handle a lot of stuff. But when you step to me with crap, I have no time to deal with it
Especially when it's because your ego was put in check.
My tolerance level for stupidity/incompetence is low.
But being in this roll I guess I have to be able to grin & bear it all!
I guess the saying is true "familiarity breeds contempt"!
When I say quiet people had an issue, now I'm out spoken, that's an issue. What am I to do???
It's easy for me & probably the best thing for me to stay quiet.
So, God I pray that you increase my level of tolerance & patience to deal with people!
Give me the strength to do what's right & according to tour will. AMEN!
