Speaking Boldly Takes Courage

Speaking Boldly Takes Courage Miracle Man 6/2.2022 On occasion, I’ve been told Tom, use some tact, because I say things bluntly, matter of fact. No hedging, I’m a truthful shooter instead, Never leaving one to question just what I said. But intent, has never been to injure one’s pride, but to get them to the place where we must abide. I’ve said things boldly, that needed to be said, oft times before speaking, I was filled with dread. One of the best compliments I’ve heard about myself was “you may not like what he says, But you have to respect the fact that he tells you to your face, and you don’t hear it from a third party.”

I respect that a lot, Tom. I'd never put you down for saying your piece. You know, in a way, I am the same way. I try never to say things for which I'll need to apologize, but when I speak my piece, I usually don't need to apologize. I like your style.
