“For we are each responsible for our own conduct.” Gal.6 NLTIt is never right to excuse our own bad behavior because of the behavior of another. Take responsibility for your own actions and do not play the blame game. What I do, I do. Blaming someone else for your actions is blaming the rain for getting you wet when you forgot your umbrella.

Grace modeste- an "unassuming grace." Any discussion of a spiritual nature should reflect this mutual kindness. The following are simply my devotional reflections each morning. I cast them like "bread upon the waters," hoping that all who find them will find something of value to nurture their own inner life.
”It is a very common, ancient, well-perfected device for trying to feel better. Blame others....” Pema Chödrön

Fixing blame, doesn’t fix anything.
“Why do you condemn your brother?” Rom.14You do not clean dirt by flinging mud. Finding someone to blame solves nothing.. We must change our thinking from “who” is right and “who” is wrong to “what” is right and “what” is wrong. Put your energies into fixing the problem, not into fixing blame.

“Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can” John Wesley
“Be doers...” JamesWe should each narrow the gap between what we can do and what we actually do, especially where goodness is concerned. The ability to do something is a precious grace. The abuse of our abilities is surely measured by all that could have been accomplished but wasn’t. When an opportunity to do something good presents itself do not let the thief of veiled excuses rob you of the wealth to be had in doing. Conversations Within” ts 5/25/2013 (Shenandoah, AL)
