Daily Devotional

1 Samuel 25:20-35

How do you respond when someone mistreats you? Are you quick to judge that person, cataloging all the reasons you didn’t deserve to be treated so unfairly? That was David’s initial response when the fair treatment he expected was denied.

David, while still on the run from Saul, sent men from his army to request provisions from Nabal, a rich man in the area. David felt sure Nabal would look favorably on him and meet the needs of his army. Not only would that have been customary, but David had also earned the favor by protecting Nabal’s flocks.  Yet the request, though reasonable, was scornfully rejected. 

When we feel spurned, mistreated, or unappreciated, it can cause us to respond in a way that only makes the situation worse. In David’s case, his anger flared and he set out for revenge. But before he and his 400 warriors could make it to their destination, Nabal’s wife Abigail intercepted them, falling on her face to apologize for her husband’s behavior and to reason with David.

In that moment, David had a choice to make. He could either charge right past her, fueled by his own rage and need for justice, or he could pause (James 1:19). God gave him the wisdom to make the better choice. The next time anger erupts in your heart, will you follow David’s example and stop to listen to wisdom?

Parenting 101

Parental training

Ok parents, its’s time for you to start being a parent. Yes, we all want to be our child’s best friend but enough is enough. Children are literally getting away with murder and anything else they want. When did the child start telling you what they want to do and don’t want to do? Put your damn foot down and stop this shit. Start punishing your child, make them do chores, make them do what they are supposed to and what you want or need them to do. I am so tired of the coddling of these little shits, it is sickening. So many times I have wanted to go up to the parent and smack them to show them what they need to do when the child talks back to them.

Welcome

Hello everyone! This is my first time creating a blog so if you would bear with me while I get my feet wet.

This blog will be written in layman’s terms so everyone can understand. First, I am not an English major nor am I college educated. So don’t expect perfect anything.

I will be covering a variety of topics related to life experiences, local restaurant reviews and local news commentary/reviews.

This is an introductory page with more to come soon.
