It was only a pop quiz but at first it felt like a major test. An unfavorable social media comment in response to my LinkedIn post made me question myself for a few seconds. My blood started to get heated, but i cooled it quickly.

And as i have learned, there is no place in my life for anger, revenge, nor bitterness.

This led, of course, to praying for the person who wrote the comment. They must be going through something challenging to make a public attack comment like that.

Seriously, i pray they are ok.

It was easier than i thought

Apple Store Mall at Millenia
Yesterday at Mall at Millenia for a business meeting.

 

It was easier than i thought. And it was not the reason for the meeting. Had a business meeting yesterday which included an opportunity to personally share that i have disconnected with 360 people on personal Facebook (as opposed to Facebook Pages). Normally, the stereotypical first reaction when someone “unfriends us” is anger, hurt, and confusion. This did not happen.

Can we behave in public the same way we behave in private?

There’s no way to prove it, yet the odds are decent this was John W Jolin. The odds are much higher than the odds of winning the lottery, or living to the age of 100. Honestly, it’s most likely only a coincidence.

Most people are public about their actions on LinkedIn, even if they haven’t uploaded a profile photo.

 

Can we behave in public the same way we behave in private?

Live your life so that if anyone ever says anything bad about you, no one will believe it.

Grace is granting favor to the undeserving

iPhone announcement in 2007
The iPhone 3GS was the most advanced device ever. It is the one he’ll receive to replace his water-damaged iPhone 6.

 

Grace is granting favor to the undeserving. Most of the time, the grantor’s generosity is taken for granted. This is the true test of their (the grantor’s) belief system.

Surrender, self-control, service

Surrender, self-control, service.

Surrendering to what we cannot control is the only way to peace.

With peace we experience contentment.

With peace and contentment, we find joy and gratitude with every breath.

The long way is the short cut.
