Don't Get Lured In 9/13/2023

 Good Morning, 

Another fine day of fishing and relaxing. I drank a hot cup of Door County  Jamaican Blue Mountain Blend   Coffee and I am ready to write. 

Today my thoughts turn to all of us and I have a little advice for the day. When fishing we always try to use the bait or a lure that is attractive to the fish so they take a bite at it and get hooked. Today some of you will be lured into a spat or disagreement by an attractive lure. That lure is your own ego and pride. Someone will say or do something that just rubs you the wrong way. It actually irritates you not to respond to something best left alone and forgotten, but pride kicks in and you respond. This takes a minor situation and turns it into flaming anger and is blown way out of proportion.  

Psalm 37:8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath. It only causes harm. 

Today's advice. Leave the tackle box of pride, anger, and ego on the dock and don't open it. It only causes harm.

Marty
