Responding to Sandpaper People (from Pastor Tom Morris):
1) Remember that I may be a sandpaper person to someone else!
2) Realize God is working on me
3) Refuse the easy road -- run to the guns! (That doesn't mean to be violent!)
4) Resist retaliating.
5) Reject trying to please everyone.
6) Respect the ideas of others.
7) Relax; I don't need to fix sandpaper people. Speak truth into their lives, but let God do the fixing.
8) Redeem the untapped gift within them.
9) Return to gospel thinking.
10) Rejoice that God is not finished with them yet.
