Slap Upside the Head

I heard some news tonight that upset me.  I made an immediate opinion on it and was quite open and frank on what I thought of the situation.  After I got home I stewed on it some more and was getting quite stirred up about the whole situation.  I won't explain to you all (our great and vast audience) what the situation was.  I'll just let you know that I thought the physical and mental health of someone I love dearly was at risk. 
Later this evening, I opened the best book ever written to work on my daily reading time.  The first thing I read was James 4:11-12.  It then directed me to read Mathew 7:1-2.  Let's just say that God was watching my attitude and had a few things to say about it.  To say I was spiritually given a head shaking is to put it mildly. 
I'm thankful that my God keeps an eye on me, knows my thoughts and my words and lets me know when I'm taking things into my own hands - things that don't need to be taken into my own hands.  He's pretty persistent that way, thank God :)  A.
