Enough Is Enough....
This is very hard for me to do. But I need to get a little personal with everyone for a minute. I have had a hard time with my boss at where I work. We have been great friends years ago, but because we had a shift in the authoritative positions, he has deems it necessary to distance our relationship. It was to the point to where I didn't want to even have a relationship with him.
But I know that it is not right, so I ask for some prayer. I am at the place, with help from Anna and my boss' boss, to know that over 50% of this issue is my attitude and pride. I get so frustrated with certain repetitive mistakes, that I don't want to say anything to him because it probably would not be edifying. But If forgave him and I am just on the edge of telling him that I am sorry and try reconciling our friendship. But honestly there is just a thread of "me" still left in this. I don't want it to holding back what God is trying to do here.
My boss is a great person and a fellow christian, so it very difficult when we have strife between us. He is very personable and wears his emotions on his sleeve, but I am very closed and I keep a lot of things to myself. He is very good at letting me out of work when I need some time to do personal things too. But I just need to suck it up and get over it. I know it sounds simple, but you kknow when you talk about some thing and pray about , by the time you really look at it, you already know the answer? Less of me and more of Him. Stop being selfish, stop being a putz, and grow up. I know this sounds kind of harsh toward myself, but I think that way I say is true. Sometimes that's how guys need to be(ROOOAAAAAR!). Atleast that's how I need to be with myself. Again, I receive your input and thanks everyone for letting me bounce this off ya, you guys are the BEST. :)

I love you.
Hey...I love you too brother! I pray that God will give you direction and that any efforts you make will be well received!
I don't think it's harsh to talk to yourself like that, I do it all the time. Sometimes we need it. I think that your boss is probably trying to be the best he can in his position of authority - he takes it seriously. You should be honest with your friend so he is aware of what is going on and you can hear each others hearts and not just the actions. You may have to be a little more proffesional on the job (which is required in most places) and maybe focus on your friendship outside of the workplace.
Yes, God uses things like this to strip us of our pride. I have a lot of pride myself, but oddly I'm always shocked when God reveals it to me. Be encouraged, Chris. We are all being processed, but we embrace hardship as discipline.:)
As I mentioned to you yesterday, we can't change others, we can only choose to change ourselves. :)
Thanks guys, you are all very supportive. I pray that I am as helpful to you guys when you are looking for some advice and prayer when you may need it. :)
