"Things I wish I'd never said."

While I've never been a big fan of former President Bill Clinton, I could relate to a statement he made in a recent press conference.  There are certainly, "things I wish that I'd never said."

Thankfully, most of us aren't placed under the same kind of microscope as former presidents. If we were, would we come out any better?

Many time my efforts to be funny end up being futile attempts at humor at a high cost of hurting someone's feelings.  Then their are the times that I have said pretty thoughtless things to those I love.  Not engaging my brain before my mouth.  Linda gets the brunt of this, I'm afraid. Thankfully, she has a forgiving heart.

"With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.  Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.  My brothers, this should not be." James 3: 9&10

I guess I'll even cut Bill some slack.

What a gift marriage is! Someone that truly loves us, not just when we deserve it. God is so much bigger than even that--incredible. If we can't practice forgiveness in our own home, we are unable to be what HE wants outside of our home. i love your honesty-and Linda's love for you.
