So true about emails… some conversations just have to be in person to carry the tone of caring, particularly when it is a sensitive subject. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this Carol!!

I struggle frequently with email venues. The lack of my smile, tone and body language can make what I say “sound” harsher than I intend at the other end of the computer screen.

Often I type, pray, retype, consider and pray again before sending off thoughts to members of my critique groups. You just never can be sure how things are received at the other end. (sigh)

You’re right, timing matters. The attitude in which we convey a message matters, our intentions matter (do we really want to help or just make a point).

we must have the mind and heart of Christ. He wants to build people up, to help them become more like Him. He isn’t about tearing people down or making them feel bad.

Great post. Thanks.

I’ll highlight this on the Christian Poets & Writers blog – http://christianpoetsandwriters.blogspot.com – and pray that God gives us the perfect time, place, and winsome words in Jesus’ Name.
