Sounds like the wife caught you leaving a glass of water on the sofa table to sweat and leave a water ring in the table finish.. after you denied doing it? ouch
I’m sorry for not being sorry. I had a friend who used to say “I’m sorry.” for every little thing. He did it so much me and our men’s group harasses him about it so much he yelled, “You all can just go to hell!” After his temper tantrum, we all said, “Dude, this is when you should say you’re sorry.”
Hahaha, he still won’t say sorry around us. Good times.
Oh man, I don’t think there’s anyone that doesn’t have a version of that prayer or thought process. If I got it right, we need to wanna change and not go back to the same behavior and attitude. Only then will God step in. Whew.
my experience has been that after I asked Jesus into my heart.. he never really checked out.. he just made me aware of how much of my life doesn’t work without him
I’d like to sing, “I Surrender *Some*”… got that from Chuck Swindoll.
I think Chuck mighta got that from me! I think I’ve read all of Swindoll’s books! LOL thanks Kimberly. great to hear from ya looks like the first time You’ve commented.. welcome to my club
My Lunatic Friend, yer Nutshells are cracking me up!
Did you know, Canadians say “sorry” far more often than they say “eh?”.
Saying “sorry” is curiously misinterpreted by Americans (and possibly others) as being passive and weak. It’s simply a form of diplomacy and cultural protocol. It has nothing to do with being passive or weak. Maybe it’s Biblical meekness eh!
The Marshall Tucker Band reminded me that I heard Sir Elton John said it in a love song, “What do I got to do? When sorry seems to be the hardest word … “
Sorry, I know I’m not perfect, but I’m Canadian, and that’s close enough eh.
well I forgive you! but only cause yer sorry! .. I also use sorry to mean a sad effort! ROFL .. I make sorry attempts to say I’m sorry to my wife often
Sorry to belabour this topic, but I work for an American company and we actually got “schooled” just a couple weeks ago about the misuse of “sorry”!
Here’s some examples that were helpfully shared.
1. Rather than saying, “Sorry, I’m late.” Say, “Thank you for your patience.”
2. Rather than saying, “Sorry, I’m not making a lot of sense.” Say, “Thank you for understanding.”
3. Rather than saying, “Sorry, I’m such a lunatic,” Say, “Thank you for being nice to me.” (Sorry, I made that up, please be kind, I know it’s a sorry excuse)
Sorry, but I don’t think the Boss is gonna go along with “Thank you for your patience!” when you show up late for an important meeting eh.
Wow That was quick.. check yer inbox… I sent it via “WeTransfer” click the email and look for ‘download link’ thanks for supporting my nutshell efforts!
Yeah I just heard about that today, never explain, don’t accept blame, the best defence is to go on the offensive and man, I’m sure good at that even when I don’t mean to be offensive eh. It’s these changes in attitudes, changes in latitudes, nothing remains quite the same. If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane.
You know you’re a sorry loser when you threaten to burn your sorry board game. That’s like picking up your puck and going home ‘cause you’re getting spanked playin’ shinny.
Sorrow upon sorrows, sorry seems to be the hardest word. And some people get apoplectic about ApologetiX. Just shows to go ya, it’s always something … 🙂
Sorry, I must apologize, forgive me and please be kind?
I am the Lunatic Anonymous Canuck eh.
I don’t give a hoot about what people have to say,
I’m laughing as I’m analyzed.
Lunatics anonymous, that’s where we belong,
Sure, cause I am one, till my strength is gone,
Yeah, this beat goes on
And on, and on, and on…

I know right? when you finally tell good the truth about you and he’s still with you.. suddenly you have a whole different relationship with him! Thanks for resonating Becky

They say that those who fake sincerity have it made. And therein lies the paradox.
best thing I ever heard about “Fake it till you make it” … ‘do something even if it doesn’t come natural to you”
