Skip, during confession a few years ago I mentioned having thoughts that were uncharitable. Father told me to reflect on these 10 words from Paul: 2 Corinthians, 10:5
We compel every thought to surrender in obedience to Christ.

I pray this verse often, and find that those uncharitable thoughts flee from my mind.

Does grumbling in your thoughts the same as grumbling out loud?
I grumble in my thoughts quite often but bite my tongue. How does one stop thoughts? Anyone???

Thanks once again to all readers who pray for those of us with cancer.
Prayers for an end to the hostilities in Ukraine and as Lizzie says for Russia to have a change in heart and withdraw from their occupied areas.

You remind me of the fast is not about ME. Putting this in perspective changes my thoughts of lenten sacrifice. Sure I still yearn for my daily comforts but offering it up for someone else with a humble and contrite heart is where I should be. Easier said than done in this ME world we live in. Peace brother Bob.
