One of My Favorite Questions:

Last year my Sunday school teacher asked me a question I found extremely intriguing. It was:

"Would you be mad if someone spit in your face?"

I didn't even need to process such an inquiry; I immediately stated, "of course I would be."

His reply; "No, you would be wet. You decide if you will be mad."

Ahhh....onset immediate conviction. Such a true statement about the power of my reactions to whatever is going on around me. I have a choice to be mad, irritated, or simply wet. I ponder this question frequently when I consider my man-made and seemingly silly entitlements that I create all around me.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
