Way Harsh Talk

Play for the Audio Version

What's coming to mind right now is the harshest talk from any human being I have ever heard. There are probably some other people who are pretty mean in their words but all I can think about are these two people. Right now weird they are what came to mind.

And, that is exactly what they're going to be referred to as. Also known as I am not disclosing the names. All I will say is they had the power of authority in a work setting. Oh, that was a huge clue!

The first man that I'm talking about would speak what is Harsh, course, and vulgar language. Not only on me, but other co-workers as well. The other man I'm talking about would continue to be mean and harsh in his words to really only me. I was his only temployee at the time.
Come to think of it? Maybe I was there because I was the only one that could take his ish! Hold up, maybe a nicer way to say it would be this. God wanted me there so I was at the right place at the right time. Perhaps this guy would see from my understanding actions something. he didn't know of a born-again Christian. So, who knows maybe he really did see something in me that will make him become a born-again Christian as well.

Who knows that could have happened? May the work force welcome a nicer boss to their community.

Anyway, so that was an experience that I think I definitely could have done without. However, that happened and thank God for helping me get out of it.

What about you guys? Are you
getting harshly spoken to as well? If that is the case, believe me friend physical or verbal abuse should not have to be tolerated or be put on anyone!

What does the Bible have to say about that? What does God have to say about that? Let's check it out. Here are some Bible verse
