The Power of Influence: Part Two

without comments

It seems I need to clarify some of my words from my post on the power of influence. The whole point of the post was to say this - I need to learn to be a better positive influence on those around me. Plain and simple. The Bible calls us to be imitators of Christ, and I fail miserably at times.

Maybe Justin was right that I needed to edit out some of the details regarding my co-workers. However, it’s not the co-workers that are the problem. It’s me! I’m impatient at times. They’re just doing their job by asking questions. I do not think they are annoying. As I come to a realization of the sin in my life, I see my impatience with them. As mentioned, the point of the post was not to call them annoying. It was to show my own sinfulness in being impatient with them. The problem is me!

I may have also been off-base by saying my boss and myself are the only Christians that work here. I don’t know the details of all of my co-workers relationship or lack thereof with God.

Apparently, my blog has more of an influence than I realize, as well. A copy of the post was mailed to one of my co-workers. If the person that mailed the post would like to contact me, I’d be happy to discuss this further and clarify my words.
