Editing Our Thoughts, Words and Actions.


I have written about ten quick and easy to read books, being no more than a hundred pages each, for spiritual growth and enjoyment. I think they are very helpful.  Some are recent while some were completed two years ago.

One week I spent some time rereading them to check for errors (since they are self published).  Even though I had proof read all of them, there they were, one to many periods at the end of a sentence, commas or quotation marks when no one was speaking!

What I had probably done while writing was correct or delete a sentence without removing a period.  Which proves I must clean my computer screen ( I thought it to be a speck of dust). Needless to say I went through making necessary corrections!

Many do that in life.  We say something to or about someone and find it's out there and can't be erased.  Some have told a lie or falsely accused  others to play the victim and receive attention, only to have it backfire and they were exposed.

We often live lifestyles that we are not proud of, making unwise or even sinful choices!  What if we (alright I) had sought the Word of the Lord and even the Lord of the Word.  We can see the importance of  prior to speaking, living, even writing on social media, taking time to think it out and pray.  We should have been guided by the Word and not emotions in the heat of the moment. Paul wrote for us to have the mind of Christ.

Know this; When we see we have done or said something we shouldn't, we can go to God and He will forgive and forget!
