Getting Even
I can't help but notice folks spending great time and energy in the futile attempt to get even. Believe me, I fully understand this from my own personal history. After all, it's all part of what makes this world operate, and the constant flow of news would mostly shrivel up without it. I have come to so value the freedom found in having being released from this bondage in Christ. I have no need to try to get even with others. Even though I understand the old mindset, I have been given a new understanding that simply ruins the logic of revenge. Thank God!! :)

getting even ~ that is a big
getting even ~ that is a big one. i especially hear it almost daily between the grandkids. then again with kids in general. and yes, adults as well. not to mention the occasional momentary slip in my own mind from time to time.
it can be fun sometimes to watch on tv or in the movies - people getting their 'come uppins', as the brits would say. :) sometimes even in 'real' life when someone seems to get what they 'deserve' after being perceived as being so stupid, foolish, evil, etc.
and then the whole legal mentality ball starts rolling again full speed ahead, and we roll right along with it in our mind ... trapped again in the outward appearance games and all the comparing and competing that goes along with it - the judgments, condemnations, etc.
oops ... i am falling asleep here at the computer ... sighhh ... best be off to bed now. nighty night ~ zzzzz

Sherri, I really liked this! Geez this goes "un-talked-about" so much doesn't it?!! Dunno why? I mean every year I will have 3-10 major life effecting episodes of this sort of thing happening around me and to me, so as to suck me in to it's insane ball of legal yarn! I am in the midst of a doozy right now in fact!![many days now] Anyway..good word.
