James 1:19-25 (Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak, and Slow to Get Angry)

Now I know I said I wouldn't mix and mingle the topics on my blog, but I had to share these bible verses.  They apply to any person whether you are Christian or have any other belief system. 

James 1:19-25

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
²⁰ For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
²¹ Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
²² But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
²³ For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
²⁴ For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
²⁵ But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

I needed to be reminded of this as I just had a disagreement with someone and didn't follow the rules.  I was all quick to get angry LOL.  However, today, I'm wishing I hadn't of "popped" off so quickly.  We quick-tempered people have to restrain ourselves sometimes.  Who wants to have unnecessary awkward moments the next day when the situation wasn't even a big deal.  Therefore, to prevent such situations I need to work on my personal actions and be less reactive... somebody dial down the activation energy up in here LOL.   

So, now that everything is all awkward, do I apologize? LOL
