It had been way too long since I have blogged last. Definitely think I'm going to pick up on this a lot more soon. I have so many thoughts and am learning so much that I am excited to share! Right now a few friends and I are actually reading 10 chapters a day in the Bible straight through until we are finished. None of us have read the entire Bible like this, so I'm really excited to see what is in store. We are in Numbers now and trucking right along. I have been very blessed and am sure I will be sharing some of the blessings on here very soon.
However, at the moment, I am needing to rant a little bit about a problem I have ran into a few times in my lifetime. I don't understand why some people treat other people the way they do sometimes. It makes me so angry the disrespect, rudeness, attitude, and condescending words that people use against others. Especially others that they should be defending or at least be supporting. It drives me up the wall. Why do they think it makes them so much cooler to be a bully? Really? I feel sorry for them because they have such a low view of themselves that they feel they have to put other people down or gossip about them to trash their name. As Christians this is so wrong-- we really need to be careful about what we say and do. Especially on social media, too. This petty stuff makes me so angry... I could say so much more but have got to get going... Maybe I'll come back and edit more. But for the time being this is all.
Ephesians 4:29-32
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
