Accountability

Why is accountability so allusive to mankind? I think that many of us forget, that God is not blind. There is always an excuse, an easier path to take. Will our deception anger God, or make his heart break? Can’t all be forgiven, why must we show disdain? Practice what you preach, so your work is not in vain.

A powerful write. Years ago we had "Accountability" not so much these days. I love your line, "I think that many of us forget, that God is not blind." Very True... Have a great day...........

Thanks Tania! It makes you wonder, I suppose we are going to be accused her of attacking again.

I continue to shake my head at the audacity of one who is so disrespectful that he blocks you, but thinks he has the right to comment on your poetry, only to delete it when he doesn't want anyone to read what was written between you. I hope you block him now, Mark. Anything he has to say is not worth reading. Despite his claims of wanting peace, he still accuses some of us of writing with ill will. Instigation is not a way to promote peace.

Some act so cowardly, it amazes me that they can get kicked off and then the minute they are back start commenting with negative or manipulative comments, as it has been said to bait and cause trouble.

He was just trying to bait me and get me kicked off the site.

I won’t block him, he is welcome on my stoop anytime. He will get the truth from me, unlike he gives.

And true to form, he throws a few insults and then deletes. I think he must live with a lot of guilt, why else would he blame his kids for his own actions. What a coward
