Slow to.... just everything

I'm sorry for what I said about you
Will you accept my apology?
I am sorry

Hey, now what am I to do?
I'd better think twice before I make my move
'Cause last time I didn't think it through
Don't know where it's going to go
Don't know what we're going to do
And hey, now what am I to say?
My foolish words got in the way of us being friends
Wake up, make up, can we get along again?

I don't really want to fight over something that's really nothing?
It doesn't matter
I don't really want to scar your heart with words that hurt you
I won't hurt you

Did you feel all right
When you hung me out to dry?
Everybody knew
When you put it on the six o'clock story on the nightly news
Now it's time to think
Through this mess of words we made
Tongues are hard to tame
Powerful as politics, sharper than a razor blade

Did you really want to fight over something that's really nothing?
It doesn't matter
Did you really want to scar my heart with words that hurt me?
Don’t hurt me
I don't really want to cry over issues
Wet tissues stick to my shoes
We can't take back words we've spoken
But I'm hoping you'll forgive me

I don't care about what you said about me
Can we agree to disagree?
I am sorry

But I'm hoping you'll forgive me
I'm hoping you'll forgive me
I'm hoping you'll forgive me

No matter what, I can always find something in this song that I can relate to. It's stupid to fight over stuff that really doesn't matter at all. It's even more stupid to cry about it, when it's not worth it and the person who hurt you is a jerk. Sometimes, along with being slow to get angry, you have to be slow to get upset over something that's really not worth it. So, next time you get upset, examine what you're upset about, and think about if it's really worth it to get all upset.

I gave my dad the letter. He called me at 6:33am. I was SLEEPING!!! I didn't really mind. He left a message and I really couldn't believe it. It didn't seem like my letter had an affect on him at all. He didn't even say anything about quitting alcohol. When I got home from school, he kept on calling the house. I didn't pick up. Then, I finally decided to call him. I called and my dad talked to me about his job and everything that's going on with him. He started to tell me how he wants to see me. I said to him, "I'm sorry, but we're not going to your house until you stop drinking." He told me that it's hard and he needs help. I said to him, "You have to understand that we aren't going to your house until you stop drinking. We aren't going to see you until you stop." (Sometimes, it feels like when I talk to him, I'm talking to a child.) After that, he said he was going to take a nap and said talk to you later and bye. My dad doesn't even care about seeing my sisters and I. What a jerk, right? He chooses the addiction over his daughters. I cannot believe that. You don't have to feel bad for me or anything. It's better that I know this now. It's crazy how we're his daughters, and he doesn't even seem to care. I'm just so lucky that I have a Father in heaven. lol.. He's my Daddy!

Please pray for my dad. Pray for him to stop focusing on things that aren't eternal, and start focusing on things that are.
