the zing of disagreement

There are people that I can have a discussion with, disagree, and be ok.  These are the folks who put people before ideas.  We aren't on the same page on an issue, but we still care for each other.

Then there are those folks who need to deliver a zinger if you don't agree with them.  They need to dismiss you, they need to shame you, they need to give you the cold prickly stare.

Dear friends, there is no reason to deliver a zinger to another person.  We are different.  We are going to disagree.  It's ok.  They don't deserve to be hurt by me because they have a bumper sticker that I don't like.  They don't deserve to be rejected because they voted for someone else.

People are more important than ideas.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
