Can we live without Dissension?
Every time you look on the news. There was a fight broke out this person was shot or shot at. Where is the unresolved anger coming from in our men and women? Are our children? I think about proverbs 15:18 a lot hot tempered man stirs up dissension but a patient man calms a quarrel. We don't have to have the last say to show who is the baddest. The bigger person walks away. I understand a lot of times people act out of fear of what the individual might do to them. I get that. On the other hand, sometimes we have to separate ourselves from trouble. I hear another group of people saying. Every time I do that they come where I am at. I don't want to be a snitch with the police. I hear you street talking to me. To sum that up there has got to be a better way than all these individuals dying. I love you all. When you do good, you feel better about yourself.
