James 1:19 (NIV)
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
Lord, when it comes to politicians, make me quick to pray, slow to criticize and slow to get all worked up.
James 1:19 (NIV)
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
Lord, when it comes to politicians, make me quick to pray, slow to criticize and slow to get all worked up.
I’m really slow to anger,
and slower still to speak.
But I am a ready danger
to apply a fist to beak.
They say naught is mended
by quick-violent retort,
but mending’s not intended
when fighting’s really sport.
Discourse tries my patience,
and I’m SO easily bored.
I guess my pugilistic nascence
was what God aimed me toward.
Come, disagree, and gather round,
and I’ll lay you firmly on the ground.
Patience is a safer choice for me, Andrew. My fists don’t pack much punch.
How about a set of nunchucks? 🙂
