do no harm, part II

11/30/10 I am preaching a series of sermons from John Wesley's 3 simple rules: do no harm, do good, stay in love with God. This past Sunday I began with do no harm. I challenged the congregation and myself to pick one behavior that God might want us to change for this season of Advent. I want to guard my tongue. I so easily can attack, blame, and belittle others. I am finding this very hard to do. This behavior is so ingrained in me that before I even know it the words come flying out of my mouth. I realize it may take more than the season of Advent for God to work in me this simple rule of doing no harm.

Love,
Lynn
