May 16th

"Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice," Ephesians 4:31

we get it,
we really do
but sometimes bitterness
tastes better than 
the finest wines,
quarreling can be
so much more fun
than a quiet chat,
anger is like that 
ace we hide in our
sleeves just waiiting
for the right time 
to pull it out and toss
it in someone else's face,
and malice becomes that
lucky charm we carry around
in our pocket so we will never
lose to the folks who annoy us.
