:o I was just heading off to bed , but not able to "settle".
I opened a book to James 3:13-18.

I think I was meant to read this.
I have NOT been very gracious of late, I've been rude and arrogant and I'm truly sorry to all those I have offended!

To quote: James, "If you are wise, live a life of steady goodness, so that only good deeds will pour forth.......and by all means don't brag about being wise and good............"


And part of the following meditation:" Let us overcome our enslaving fears, agitating passions and moral conflicts and determine to become peacemakers....."

I feel really badly for those I have hurt.
I am sorry.

There is no excuse. :o

I am weak, I struggle at work to be a "Leader", and every moment of my day I try to convince myself that God did give me this job because He has equipped me .........and I thank Him by mouthing off in such an ungracious manner to His people!! (here , I mean!!) :(

At work I am in control, and kind, and compassionate, and everyone likes me, etc... yet on the inside is this disgusting, ugly, ungrateful, narcissistic, judgemental , horrible person.

I am so sorry to you all.......... :(

Love
Kerrin

Hi Kerrin:

You just described all of us.

No one stays in the 'right' place all the time.

We are glad you are here.

Hi Kerrin,

Ya see - it makes all the difference in the world when someone can see where they've goofed and acknowledge it.

We all do stuff like that from time to time - get irritable and ungracious - but the people I want to know better are the ones like you.
