I Thessalonians 5:15-24
I want to tell you all how truly sorry that I am if my using Captain Howdy Girls Haiku game led any of you to question my faith, my desire to walk with God, my passion for advancing his kingdom. I firmly believe that as a disciple of Christ, it is my responsibility to refrain from any activity that can be misunderstood as evil, and especially those that cause my brothers and sisters to stumble.
So, with a heavy heart, I will remove the Haiku game from my blog. Whatever it takes to stop people from accusing me of having "non-christian," or "non-church-person" behavior.
The only reason that I didn't remove the post sooner is that many of you played the game. Is it fair to punish any of you for simply playing a game? I do not think so. So I am copying all of your Haikus here. You wrote them, and you deserve for them not to be deleted.

(NIV) 15Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.
16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
19Do not put out the Spirit's fire; 20do not treat prophecies with contempt. 21Test everything. Hold on to the good. 22Avoid every kind of evil.
23May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

Haiku is easy,

Hoodies are just grand,

bathe a car or pet or you

RM: you are so much better of a person than i am. you humbly removed the post. good for you.
i don't think i could've been so humble. you further prove the points we all made about your character.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
Spelled something wrong and had to delete my last comment.
I don't get it, who would criticize your Haikus? I hope mine wasn't taken seriously.
I guess there will always be people criticizing and whining. How does the song go, "The world is full of stupid people..."
ron - i LOVED your haiku!!! please please please play the new haiku game.
basically, the blog owner that i got the idea from, got VERY hostile with me, as far as calling me the "c-word" and calling my behaivior un-christian like. she kept saying that if i were really sorry for "stealing from her" i'd prove it by removing the game. so, i felt that if that was what it would take for her to stop questioning my intentions, i had no choice but to remove the game.
but i knew you all had fun with it, so i revamped the game, credited the people who invented haiku, and started over!
the rules have changed the second time, but i hope you will still play!
I respect you for being the bigger person even when (in my opinion) you did nothing wrong in the first place.
I understand why you pulled the other post. I just don't understand the character of someone who would cause such a big deal over something so small. Guess that's why we are only called to work on our own character and sometimes mine needs some work.
Thanks for appreciating my poem. And thank you so much for adjusting my spelling, it tormented me after I published it, but I couldn't bring myself to delete and re-post. (silly, huh?)
OH MY GOODNESS! I'm sorry, but how dare you, Rebecca Marie. Seriously, to think that this sweet girl had such a cute and fun idea on her PUBLIC BLOG that you wanted to share with your PUBLIC audience as well. Clearly you did not seek permission.
But then again, last time I checked, this blog was your very own website. Right?
um, www.rebeccamariewinters.blogspot.com um, yep, still your own little piece of blogworld.
btw, does this mean I need to ask you first before commenting? aw, crap. now i'm going to have to remove myself from blogworld.
little miss, not only may you comment without persmission, you may take what you'd like and use it on your blog!
Have you ever gone to see OPB's Livewire at the Aladdin Theatre? (It's also on OPB radio)
They have an audience haiku contest.
steven, you totally have to play the next round...
