The week is finally over

This has not been one of my best weeks. I do not handle change really well. I like to believe that I am a go-with-the-flow kind of guy, but the reality of it is I bend about as well as an I-beam. The kids are all back in school now. We are in full swing with the extra curricular activities. I am working in a 'higher' paygrade at my unit. Etc, etc, etc. So I am just out of sorts. Please pray that God would help me navigate through this. There are so many worse things that could be going on and I am jsut acting ungrateful for all the things He has done for me. Verse for today: James 3:5b-10, ESV How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, [1] and set on fire by hell. [2] For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, [3] these things ought not to be so.
