Favorite Group, Great Words, Bees Killer...

Bees can be pesky, but there are products that get rid of them quickly. Last night while I was just "chilling" after a long day I put on my headphones and listed to some music I had put on my IPOD.
.
As I was listening one of my favorite groups, the Newsboys, came on. I was totally blown away. I have listened to this song for years but it's timing was really quite interesting. I have printed the words below and a link, if you want to listen to the song, you'll be touched. Read on and watch bees die...
.
You are waiting on a beach for a healing word to come maybe an apology in a bottle maybe a flare that says, "I'm sorry." and the hurting leaves you numb
.Will you forgive? will you forget? will you live what you know? He left his rights will you leave yours? you don't understand it let it go.You are waiting on a beach this is where the east meets west and as another sun sets on your anger the darkness laughs, as the wound destroys and it turns your prayers to noise.
Will you forgive? will you forget? will you live what you know? He left his rights will you leave yours? you won't understand it let it go
.
This bitterness you hide it seeps into your soul and it steals your joy 'til it's all you know let it go.Will you forgive? will you forget? will you live what you know? He left his rights will you leave yours? you won't understand it let it go
.Will you forgive? will you forget? will you live what you know? beneath the cross you hear His words, "Father, forgive them," and you know you can't understand it let it go.Here is a link that shows a video that someone made from "Lost" and put the music in the background. It's pretty interesting as well. If you don't want to watch the video, at least you'll get a chance to hear the song.

Bees That Have Buzzed...

This morning I was re-reading my notes I have made in times of study or reflection. These often turn into blog entries. Most of the ideas I come up with are thoughts that have been spurred by others, experiences that have happened... Sermons I have heard... books or articles I have read... Insightful, funny or heart touching stories that I have come across.
.
Out of these come the "ramblings" in my mind, which end up in print.
.
This morning I came across a quote, I don't know it's origin at this point, but the thought came to my mind, "That's one of those things that 'buzz' and distract me from life on occasion."
.
No one wants to admit faults or failures, but the reality is we all have them. So, from my life, both past and if I'm not careful (which sometimes I'm not) in the present, comes a "buzzing bee" that this quote reminded me of.
.
I have in the past, and sometimes in the present, had hurts (perceived or actual) that I have not dealt with. Then I became angry at someone for what I think they did or did not do for me. As a result, I have fallen prey to bitterness. Bitterness truly is the seed of anger that has grown in the fertile ground of unforgiveness. One such incident happened about 15 years ago, I will not recount it, but the picture was so vivid to me this morning that I thought you, like me, might need to remind yourself of the effects of bitterness.
.
So, without any extra commentary, just this brief introduction, I now introduce you to one of the "buzzing bees" that has distracted me. It may be one you can identify with...
.
"Bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting your enemy to die."
.
Be careful, don't get "buzzed" (a whole new look at this term for those of us who grew up in the Hippy era)...
.
Watch out for distractions...
.
Till next time...
