I am in a foul mood so I’m attempting to avoid all people. I’m not certain that I will be able to quench my sarcasm – my default behavior when I’m in ‘a mood’. Doesn’t happen often, but when it does it tends to dominate for awhile. Does any of this resonate with anyone? Do […]
“But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

always, always, always makes us stumble (if not worse)! Then again, perhaps we should first look at who the best intentions are aimed at and why we think our determination is for their best!
