not...

Colossians 4

5  Live wisely among those who are not Christians,

& make the most of every opportunity.

6 Let your conversations be gracious & effective

so that you will have the right answer for everyone.

When did we quit being & doing this?

Was it lost along with our civility?

It seems we are defined these days be what we are NOT, not what we ARE...

NOT loving...

NOT gracious...

NOT merciful...

NOT understanding...

NOT humble...

(did I mention NOT loving?)

We have lost our way...

I don't know if we can find our way back...
