Topic: The Editor (05/27/10)
Jesus is my Editor, through the Holy Spirit.

The small still voice says, "You did not say 'thank your', go back".

"Excuse me mam, I forgot to say thank your."

"Did you speak harshly to that person I sent to you?"

"I was wrong to speak harshly to you. I want to appoligize".

No matter where I am or what I do. I find my editor is always sugesting a better way to represent Jesus.

My goal is to learn to edit myself. I want people to see Jesus and not me. When I focus on Jesus, I am a very kind and gentle person.

When I focus on myself and my own wants, I am selfish and self-centered. I can not seem to change myself. No matter how much I want to change, I can not.

But with Jesus, all things are possible. I have the hope that one day, with the LORD's help, I will become a kinder, gentler person.

You took the Editor out of the box by reminding us that our words and actions require as much, if not more, editing than the written word. Thank you!

Thank you for putting life into perspective. A few misspelled words, but otherwise very well written. Thank you and God bless.

Great message!

Interesting approach--a life editor rather than a writing editor.

It's almost ironic, but this writing editor suggests that you double-check your spelling more closely before submitting!

Thanks for being so transparent with us...this is a nice read.
