"The abnegation of reason is not the evidence of faith, but the confession of despair."

- J.B. Lightfoot
Confession

Last night I said hurtful words to someone I love. What's worse, it was in the midst of a conversation about theological matters.

Words and even body language, all modes of human communication, can be like bullets.

I wish I had a time machine, but I don't. The good thing is that we have spoken, and forgiveness has been asked for and received. Thank God.

I still feel awful though, and I can't undo it. May grace overwhelm everything.

The Lord has put away all your sins, Bill.

Been there done that. Have been fighting the tongue since I was 15. Been praying for a soft answer to turn away wrath especially when it comes to truth! I qualify my statements now saying that this is what I understand so far.
