Anger…

 Anger…

I was watching the news and the Secretary of Transportation was speaking about bring civility back into air travel…what a concept!

I wish more people would practice that…being kind, showing kindness, kind words would all be welcomed in society…I thought growing up that that was the way to act…swearing was not allowed, name calling a no-no, rudeness had no place…now it all seems so “acceptable “…the “wrongs “ have taken over the rights…and the “rights “ are now seen as wrong…where did civility go?

In the ESV translation  of the Bible the word anger is used 269 times…some very legitimate, while others are warnings….

Thank YOU…

A few….
