Pauseabilities

Conflict, arguments, and accusations seem to dominate our news feeds, social media posts, and even our day to day conversations. It can be overwhelming, and sometimes it brings out the worst in us. Many times these situations arise because along the way we forgot that age-old saying our moms and dads used to tell us, "think before you speak." Jesus shows us exactly how we can redeem these divisive problems laced with grudges and judgment and turn them into solutions seasoned with grace and love... How? The next time you get caught up in one of those moments, before you hit "Send" or utter your response, do one thing. Pause.
