 9.25-

Since I was blessed to be close to Sheila when she was moved to heaven two years ago, I got to know God better during that time. I still have a lot to learn. For all of us that feel weak and sinful it is good to find God is strong and comforting and especially forgiving.

Ephesians 4.

25 Therefore, ridding yourselves of falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are parts of one another. 26 Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not give the devil [t]an opportunity. 28 The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather he must labor, producing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with the one who has need. 29 Let no [u]unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but if there is any good word for edification [v]according to the need of the moment, say that, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, [w]by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 All bitterness, wrath, anger, [x]clamor, and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven [y]you.

 8.1- The spread of kindness is a way to comfort people. Nadia Bolz-Weber, a Christian writer, was grieving the death of her nephew on a plane. A fellow passenger quietly handed her a small package of tissues. This gesture, without any conversation, impacted her greatly. On a later flight, Nadia saw a fellow passenger was crying and gave her a package of tissues. This sensitivity led to a long conversation for shared grief and mutual prayers. The kindness of love is a positive yeast that helps make our world a better place. 2 Corinthians 1 3  Blessed  be  the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,   4  who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in  [ b ] any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.   5  For just as the sufferings of Christ are  [ c ] ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.   6  But if we are afflicted, it is for your

4.2- The right kind of freedom versus the wrong kind of freedom.

 4.2- The right kind of freedom versus the wrong kind of freedom. We were born to be free. This kind gives us the mastery under God to become excellent farmers and craftsmen. We fall down and get up in this pursuit, but we gain spiritual humility which helps us improve. Ready. fire and aim better. Fake freedom is fly paper and the fly. The fly thinks, " I can land and have some hyper pleasure" but paper says to the fly, "I have you." A freedom done with no self control becomes an addiction. We who are children of God enjoy his mercies new each.morning to have a day of grace mercy and peace if we receive them for that is what he is sending our way. 1 Peter 2 13  Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority,   14  or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.   15  For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of

 4.6- After a great success the is a bit of a danger that comes next. The drain of the energy in the victory event should be followed by healthy restoration through decompression, nutrition and joyful, healthy and playful events that are free from moral danger. This week I had a day of amazing "yes" answers to prayer. One event culminated 44 years of prayers for something. Then I was drained and got into a bad thought drainage ditch. Thankfully, three of my buddies came by to help me to overcome evil thoughts with good thoughts. Then back on the highway of joy and positive progress. Hebrews 12. 4  In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.   5  And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,      and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, 6  because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,      and he ch
