—James 1:19-25

I wonder what percent of one's anger is the result of not hearing correctly. Julie, our daughter, recently told us that there are sixteen ways to interpret (or misinterpret) a single sentence. Even if we do hear correctly and have a right to be angry, Aunt Elaine Kennedy would say, "Less said, less mended." Between Aunt Elaine, James, and Solomon (Proverbs 17:27,28), I've received rather sound instruction. The sooner I stop sounding off, the sooner it will be evident that the Lamb of God is indeed my Lord (Isaiah 53:7-12).
