Open Our Eyes, Lord! 
(Prov 27:4 [KJV])
Wrath [is] cruel, and anger [is] outrageous; but who [is] able to stand before envy?
Envy or popularity…you might get so many links to this post that you’ll be tempted to become trendy.

My family knows full well – because I say it often – that becoming “trendy” would finish me off. 🙂
I agree, Gary, I don’t follow the croud and I am seeing why people are shunned for following Jesus, but I will follow Him forever, no matter what the cost, it feels so much better to do the right thing, WWJD, is what I ask myself, and I find I’m not afraid of anyone anymore, God is the only one I need to fear. I pray about this very often because sometimes it can put you situations where you have to choose, and it feels so much better to choose the Lord, then I know I have chosen right no matter what.. thanks for your blogs…
