Cozier is the contempt, anger justified, toward those who march to a differing tune than my own, those who would offend me. “modern me”
An ad for a piece of literature finds its way into my inbox.
I did not ask for it. No requisitions, but there it rested… holding space where it was not invited. $0.99.
Hello Bookbub!!
In another day, I would simply have clicked “delete” and ended this intruder’s offer, but, that was another day. This is today, “Today.”
“One Change!” This was the suggestion… just one change. “Okay, you have my ear, but briefly, and you better make it quick, mind you.”
The offer was stated as, “How Just One Change Can Make All of Life Better.” Well, imagine that… I hope you plan to make a point soon cause you’ve already bypassed, uh? There it was in title… unavoidable.
“Unoffendable”
The word will not even type on my laptop without prompts to correct the spelling. I assume it’s an unknown word… well, at least here yonder.
Here is a closing point until next time (I do intend to return… I assure). Did you know that in the Bible’s wisdom literature, anger, being offended, is always — not sometimes — always – associated with foolishness, not wisdom.
Well, the book, in case you’re inclined to pick up a copy and read with me, “Unoffendable: How Just One Change Can Make All Of Life Better.” by Bryant Hansen

You have our interest MT, don’t leave us hanging.
Hi Keith! Thanks for the encouragement friend… my break from here has been longer than originally planned.
Glad you are back. We all need time to heal, think, consider, redirect, etc. Missed you, grateful to see “Resting ” in my inbox…blessings old friend.
Interesting. I had no idea that the Bible refers to taking offense that way. That definitely makes you think.
I’m curious about this book now too! Might have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for stopping by and sharing your interest. I think it is that thought that attracted me to the book also, my never considering “being offended” by others might in some way be indicative of something going on that’s in need of some pruning here in the vineyard. Have a great day!
