“Anger is a poison you mix for your friend but drink yourself,”
― Eve Ensler, The Apology

“Don’t worry about the wicked        or envy those who do wrong.    2 For like grass, they soon fade away.        Like spring flowers, they soon wither.    3 Trust in the LORD and do good.        Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.    4 Take delight in the LORD,        and he will give you your heart’s desires.    5 Commit everything you do to the LORD.        Trust him, and he will help you.    6 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,        and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.    7 Be still in the presence of the LORD,        and wait patiently for him to act.    Don’t worry about evil people who prosper        or fret about their wicked schemes.    8 Stop being angry!        Turn from your rage!    Do not lose your temper—        it only leads to harm.    9 For the wicked will be destroyed,        but those who trust in the LORD will possess the land.    10 Soon the wicked will disappear.        Though you look for them, they will be gone.    11 The lowly will possess the land        and will live in peace and prosperity.    12 The wicked plot against the godly;        they snarl at them in defiance.    13 But the Lord just laughs,        for he sees their day of judgment coming.    14 The wicked draw their swords        and string their bows”

“Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return.        Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.    8 So don’t bother correcting mockers;        they will only hate you.    But correct the wise,        and they will love you.    9 Instruct the wise,        and they will be even wiser.    Teach the righteous,        and they will learn even more.”

“Momma prays like she’s talking over God, and if God were to talk back she wouldn’t even hear Him.”
