Hi Frank and Mary,
Since I am awakened to the horrible ways animals are used, abused and all I have posted various articles and sermons of yours on my Facebook page. Well, I got a personal message from my friend that she accused me of throwing stones and she does not want to participate in that...she is tired of my activism. Right now I have zero friends! No one comes to visit me at all. Is it because of my voice for the animals? Perhaps it is me. Maybe I am not a very nice person at all. I feel like caring as much as I do about the animals is a huge wall between me and my friends. Not one calls me or wants to see me. They feel like I am judging them and so avoid me. I am unable to go back to the way I was before so I guess this is my lot in life. I am needing friends but have none...at least not from the ones I have known all my life. Just how can I navigate life this way. I have met with vegan groups locally...well a half hour drive away at times but because of my husbands work schedule and our only having one car I am unable to attend the meetings very often...it has been months!
I just needed to express what I am dealing with. I am most concerned with being right with the Lord. My friend is offended because she feels like I am saying she is not a Christian since she eats meat. I did respond and say I know she is a Christian. However, it is still difficult to think that Christians still want to eat meat after what I shared.
Thank you for reading this email.
I need friends and have none!
