Things That Bug Me - Part 4

Well, let me give you a few more things that bug me as we close out this weeks blog topic.

1. Emails written in ALL CAPS. Just a word to the wise ... using all caps is the equivalent to yelling in cyberspace.

2. People who blow things out of proportion. Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. Be realistic.

3. Indecision. Flip flopping on issues. People who can't make up their mind. That's why I'm excited about this weeks message, "Overcoming indecision." When you are indecisive it causes fear in your heart, instability in your relationships, and it stunts your spiritual growth. The quality of your life will be determined by the decisions you make. Get God's wisdom and go for it.

4. Parents who don't discipline their kids. Man, this really bugs me. The Bible literally says that if you don't discipline your kids, it shows that you really don't love them. The next time your kid acts out, smarts off, or generally shows you some disrespect, show them how much you love them and put them on the naughty chair, or on a time out, or better yet give them a good old fashioned spanking. Of course, never discipline out of anger and always give them a word of encouragement and pray together afterwards.

5. Pop up windows. Spam. Emails from Nigeria promising me hundreds of thousands of dollars.
