peace please
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace..." 1 Corintians 14:33
So many subjects that God had given clear instructions are subjects of confusion and contention in the world, because some people won't listen to the peaceful words of scripture. Other subjects that God hints at are also subjects of confusion and contention, because greed and power drives some to twist the truth and reject revelation. Until Satan is brought into submission, this trend will continue.
To minimize confusion in my life, I choose to listen to God, the “author … of peace.” Still I make mistakes. I talk too much, forget discretion, forget that others don't share my beliefs and opinions. When remorse takes over, I relive conversations and feel sad at my faults. Once words are uttered they cannot be taken back. Perhaps I can invest in duct tape--that's what my teachers in school did to shut me up.

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
