       The only way to be seemingly perfect is to never take any risks, to never say anything colorful, to just play it safe on everything. That goes against my very nature, as it does for many of you who aren’t wimps. But what about sin? What about this “unrighteousness” that James speaks of? If we let ourselves go too far down the consciousness scale, it is easy for us to start saying things about ourselves and about others that truly don’t make any sense. These negative things that hurt ourselves and hurt others. Things that tear down, and do not build up. We can be a blessing to another or a bother to the same person; the choice is ours. It’s like Thumper in the great classic movie ‘Bambi’ taught us long ago, (paraphrasing) “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” That’s a good start. Generally speaking, I think we can always find a positive in any circumstance if we look hard enough. God’s grace is everywhere. It surrounds all living things, and all situations. The point is for not to be so negative inside our minds that we cannot identify it, or cannot see it.
