“Same stuff, different day.”
Another late afternoon break
after a late lunch. Too full to
sip water.
I could see my neighbor’s
fire through the slits in his
backyard fence.
We talked briefly once maybe
twice in the last two years. He
is burning, boiling, or cooking.
Today’s chaos is winding down.
I saw him drink from a can. The
heat of the sun is pulling back.
I sat and had these thoughts.
Something bothered me. Did I
take it to the anger level?
It is a misconception that
anything or anyone “makes”
us angry. We are responsible
for what we feel and how we
act or respond. Anyway, I
thought some more.
God’s grace doesn’t make it
impossible to sin, or be angry,
or things like that.
We must make choices. The
difference is this if one does
any of the above.
If you do not know God, you
may not know what you have
done and may not care.
If you do know God, you know
what you have done. You care,
repent, and
ask God for forgiveness because
God forgives all our sins. We can
choose to walk away from God
or walk with God. “Same stuff,
different day” will be back again
tomorrow. God too.
