Daily musings, gripes, etc. (limit 3-5) 😏
- Hypocrites in church is often cited as a reason for not attending? Seriously, shall I name them? LOL, we are all, to varying degrees, phony. And if you do discover the ugly behind the mask, I suggest running quickly. - particularly if you've tried to help and you get raged at.
- Healing takes time. A friend who recently divorced reminded me of what a mess it is. The same can be said for the learned coping behaviors that fall into the category of mental illness. We are often frustrated that we're not there yet (healed). Why? Americans have a cheeseburger drive through mentality. We want what we want and it better get here quickly.
- If you really want to know the condition of your heart, listen to what comes out of your mouth. Observe your behaviors. What's your motive? Ask your friends what they think of you. And then ask a real friend to get the truth.
