You know, silence in the midst of verbal assault and negativity can be the only positive choice sometimes. At times we just need to let others vent, and it also gives us, if we can maintain our composure and intently listen, a really good indiciation of the problem behind the problem.<br /><br />I've always appreciated that Gandhi quote :) So true...! The world would be a lot different if we all truly walked out our lives like Jesus did. <br /><br />Great post!Jessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-14411189911238220112011-09-07T15:51:22.976-07:002011-09-07T15:51:22.976-07:00I agree, Bernie, that standing up for Jesus would ...I agree, Bernie, that standing up for Jesus would be the right thing to do in any circumstance.

They would do well to take note of you today. I hate conflict too...and would rather walk away than lower myself to verbal combat. I do stand up when Jesus is attacked though!The Bernie Lutchman Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798539854112883215noreply@blogger.com
