Thing is, I really did have respect for the guy...
But, hey, none of us is perfect.
Promise, I'll let it drop, and be a good girl for the rest of the day.

We all are hun :)P
Philippians 4:13 --- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs.But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.
Commitment to Trial
Genesis 22:1-14
Teachers give written and oral exams so that they can discover what students have learned. God designs spiritual tests for us, but for a different reason. His purpose is not to acquire knowledge; He already knows all about us. His tests are designed to help us learn about ourselves, discover new truths about Him, and grow spiritually.
Our commitment to the lordship of Christ is one area in which God will always test us. Will we stand firm when our path is full of obstacles? Will we trust the Lord and depend on Him when life treats us roughly? We need not fear the testing times because our loving Father has promised to set limits on the trials (1 Corinthians 10:13), to walk through them with us (Matthew 28:20b), and to make them beneficial for us (Jeremiah 29:11).
One of God’s tests for Abraham was the command to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice. God never intended for Isaac to be killed; that would have violated His divine nature. As the Lord had planned, the trial revealed Abraham’s firm commitment to the heavenly Father. It also demonstrated the depth of God’s sufficiency and faithfulness to His followers, thereby causing the patriarch’s faith to grow. Painful though this testing must have been, it was necessary in order to mature Abraham into the man God designed him to become.
Christians vary greatly in their commitment to the lordship of Christ. What has a recent difficulty in your life revealed about your dedication? Ask God to use the problems you face to deepen your devotion to Him and to make you more like Jesus.
Bitter Poison
Ephesians 4:31-32
Picture a miserable, depressed, emotionally broken person hunched over a chemistry set. His eyes are narrow. His lips are pursed. His fingers are methodically adding just a pinch of this and a dash of that to the acrid green fluid in the test tube before him. His thoughts are a hodgepodge of dated images, his heart a stale mosaic of hatred for a grievance long past. He is thinking of the one who hurt him, and he is concocting a poison for the offender.
It sounds like an excerpt from an old movie serial, doesn’t it? However, here is where the scene changes direction. Envision that same pathetic scientist breathing a sigh of relief as he straightens up, marveling at the liquid vengeance he has created. Now, finally, imagine that poor soul saying, “This will show him,” as he turns the test tube bottoms-up and drinks the poison himself.
That’s a surprising twist — one that we would not expect in a movie. Yet, there is a good chance you have done this very thing at one time or another.
Bitterness is a toxin that we prepare for someone else, but then drink ourselves. It is a concentrated dose of emotional poison, often one that we carefully nurture and grow over the course of years. When we react to someone’s wrongdoing by withdrawing and giving free reign to daydreams of retribution and ill will, we are slowly poisoning our own hearts and minds.
Ask God to reveal any signs of poison in your system. Then, give yourself a dose of the antidote — forgiveness.
angeltress: That has to be the toughest thing a Christian can do, when under attack. Is forgive. It is not our nature to do this.
Lets not drink our own Bitter Poison ;)
God Bless ya. Girl
