Boanerges

Just some observations- a few basic things I have learned in life :

Don't be afraid to show your weakness and failures- as christians it makes us easier to relate to and can open up communication channels with others

Be quick to apologize- if you make a mistake (and all of us do) say do- the quicker the better as hard feelings can turn into bitterness and we don't want to be the source of needles offence

If you don't tell the truth catch yourself quickly and state the truth plainly- betterto correct yourself than be both embaressed and discredited later

Point only to God's goodness- if you have any virutes let someone else see them- as far as self righteousness it WILL lead to embaressment eventually

If you see others messing up and you must say something do so in an quiet and loving manor- if you are a condeming finger pointer you WILL one day find those fingers pointing back at yourself

Just some food for thought- brother Larry
