This is good

Maybe you don't have them but I know people that love DRAMA! I know tons of people that love to keep things going, that love to make things worse than they are, that love to make everything about them, that love to turn themselves into the victim no matter the circumstance. Sound familiar?

Surely you know the type. Someone can have a minor fender-bender but by the time the word gets spread via social media, they have broken their back, their neck, both ears, twelve toes, sixteen fingers, and three hairs. Come to find out, they didn't even get a scrape. The real problem with this is the discord it breeds...

Today's word comes from 1 Timothy 2:2b & 3, NIV, which reads, "...that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases GOD our SAVIOR."

What's wrong with trying to live peacefully, without DRAMA? I am anti-dramatic. I am a "just the facts" type of guy. Things are usually bad enough without trying to make them worse. If we would all try to follow Paul's advice in the above passage, we would find ourselves living peacefully and quietly and anti-dramatically.

Now, whether that will happen or not, I wouldn't put any money on it. There are some people who love controversy, and they create it by embellishing and exaggerating. Hey, you may not believe it but if you want to do something good, live peaceful and quiet in all godliness and holiness. THIS IS GOOD!

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
