My Roam4Free client Pat Phelan said he wanted to write about Mel Gibson I was surprised. What does a blog about reducing cell phone roaming charges have to do with Mel Gibson, I asked him.
"Because I'm an ex-alcoholic, that's why. And I feel strongly about what has happened,"
Well, I'm in my last days as Pat's blog coach. He's ready to peddle without training wheels. Part of what I taught him was to blog with his own words and in his own style. I told him to show his humanity by revealing things about himself, so that readers could decide whether they trust him or not.
I also told him what I thought of Mel Gibson and he quotes me accurately.
Pat, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of how willing you are to share who you are. I'm proud that your entire story shows how you care about the little guy. I have no idea how actively you practice the religion you were raised in, but I do know this:
"You exemplify what I was raised to admire about Christianity far more than does Mel Gibson.
