I Never Knew That Was in There

One of the areas I need to work on, is speaking before really thinking. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there with this particular issue, but that doesn't make it right now, does it? One thing that I do that drives Derek crazy is I sometimes have a way of saying "I TOLD YOU SO", but not in those exact words.

Well, I was doing my daily Bible reading the other morning and came across a most interesting Scripture. I am reading the Bible through in the New Living Translation, and it is amazing what I am seeing because I am reading a Bible I can actually understand. (Yes, I am admitting I don't always understand King James English) Anyway, I was reading in Acts chapter 27, when I came across Paul saying to a group of men, "MEN, YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE..." What?!? Did Paul just say what I think he said. Now, I totally forgot the context in which it was written, but I just saw where the Apostle Paul said to a group of men "YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME IN THE FIRST PLACE".

So, now I have a Scriptural backing to say to Derek or anyone else - YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME! IN THE FIRST PLACE! As a matter of fact, I think that will be the next verse my children memorize:)
