Did you see that YouTube clip of that woman texting and falling into the mall fountain?! She is suing security for laughing at her and not helping her get out!

Thank you for your good heart in this PO. We may disagree, and you have every right to be wrong, but you do so in a good spirit, without the use of ^&*( language also.

Yes, they do. But outward looks can also hide an ugly spirit, if only for a little while. That's why we must be careful how we look at others.

No way... she is suing security?! I am sorry, but I would have laughed as well. I might have had to repent later, but if I was there when it happened, I would have been doubled over, bawling like a baby from laughing so hard.

Our thoughts become words, and all I have to say is thank Jesus for repentance and the backspace key.

LOL! One time I was coming back from Houston as a passenger. The woman in the front seat was rather - okay - very large. She needed to go to the bathroom and as we were all raised in small towns, we used the outdoors. Not easy to find a bathroom when you are out on a horse, ya know. So, we stopped the car and she proceeded down the embankment under a bridge. I saw her trip and tumble down. I waited a moment to follow her because I had to get my laugh out!!!

CS, I posted this earlier. Could you comment on this, if you have the time?

Perhaps we should have a discussion on what we define as "works"?
"For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God." Romans 4:2
"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works." James 2:18
