Choices...

Sometimes it is hard to find calm in our lives while this crazy world surrounds us.  Today illustrated this picture for me, and also showed me how easily our emotions make choices for us.  This is a very short post, but I feel pretty strongly about the message.  I had a situation to deal with today where the opportunity presented itself to take the low road.  While I contemplated possible courses of action, all I thought of was to cause the most pain and inflict the most personal damage I possibly could with my words and actions.  Horrible thoughts, I know!  I am not a perfect Christian, and I bet no one else in the world is either.  I took a little bit of time and let cool heads prevail.  I am an ignorant individual, which is why I look to God for direction with situations like this.  For maintaining restraint I was blessed with an apology and a calm end to my day.  Today's lesson...

1. Getting a pound of flesh comes at too hgh a cost.  Forgiveness is always free...
