Everyone has good ideas

 Everyone has good ideas ; I wish I could tell my wife that sometimes when she corrects me . But we get on OK cause , while we might need a daily  ( or is hourly)  reminder in each decision we make, we don't let the anger of not being listened to ( I hope you don't feel it as often as  this old grump does ) stop us from communicating in the tough and sparky way that we are meant to.
When "Iron sharpens iron" is mentioned in Psalm 27:17 its implied that  SPARKS WILL FLY . 

The inspiration in this momentary war is that a more productive refined decision will and can often be made if we truly listen.
YES  - Its  worth waiting for the result of the adrenalin rush - we all should be celebrating at the end of the day ( when our anger (or rather our sinful reaction to anger ) , and should be apologised for -- "before the sun goes down" ). Look forward  to the end of the day,and don't let the waste of words hang around for a lifetime . 
Look forward  to the noradrenalin rush  that we can share  together( anger seems to precipitate more anger )  had a good day with good decisions  made . Don't be afraid of anger - its not a sin.  Look at Jesus ! Be angry,  but apologize for the sin ( your condemnation of the person?? or whatever  )

I started to write this today, because unlike the satisfying result that can happen when we fight fair and for the truth and the precision required to make good decisions ( boy its hard to listen though isn't it when YOU and I are such experts ) is the focus 
because 
1. Doug Cameron whose simple approach ( almost Marxist ) to solving  problems normally drives me nuts , said something profound in Parliament this week ( Need for housing) . Marxism doesn't work mate , so get onto something that does . 
2.The ads on TV SBS . We are away of holidays and while we have stimulating days , we like a bit of news . But what silly sales talk and simplistic insurance and betting solutions and inane commentary . We switch it  off -its not helping, even  though it makes out like the litte gods they are  that they are "OH so caring "  One blatantly outrageously simple   ad is giveing $5 a month to stop Pneumonia  and save a child . Children with Pneumonia  are dying from multiple causes and just fixing that one won't deal with the cause of that poor child's situation . 
 Trust you get something other that stupid screen talk today
