But with the Lord ...
... better a little beating, than a lot of bleeding.
... better a little rest, than failing the test.
... better a harsh rebuke, than being nuked.
... better a word of caution, than becoming caustic.
... better a time apart, than a losing heart.
... better a desert blast, than living too fast.
... better to be slow, than refuse to grow.
So let us ...
... take the pain with the gain.
... take a break and have johnny-cake.
... take a verbal blow, and truly know.
... take advice from those who paid the price.
... take some time and squeeze life's lime.
... take a drink of water before we get hotter.
... take a snub and leave the club.
Going
... outside the tent.
... Outside the camp.
... Outside our home.
... Based on Jesus,
... Built up in love,
... Sharing the feast,
with the lost, the last, and the least.
