Remain Humble

If you noticed someone in error then correct this person and his mistake in a humble way. If he does not listen to you, blame yourself only; or, even better, do not blame anybody, but continue to be humble.

(Marcus Aurelius, in A Calendar of Wisdom, by Leo Tolstoy, 30 March)

Anger

It is not men's acts which disturb us -- but our reaction to them. Take these away, and anger goes. No wrong act of another can bring shame on you.
(Marcus Aurelius, in One Day At A Time In Al-Anon, 15 November)

Perhaps the most profound miracle of all is living through something we thought would kill us.
(Beth Moore, Praying God's Word Day By Day, 16 November)

It isn't always easy to speak correction to those we know are clearly in the wrong. But the Lord uses strong leaders to correct His people, courageous leaders who can speak the truth in love.
(John C. Maxwell, Leadership, 17 September)

Resistance

It's obvious that social wrongs are only corrected when the abused get angry enough to resist.

Correction

Be grateful for correction. Don't shun corrective criticism; welcome it as a means for self-improvement. (John MacArthur, Truth For Today, 3 July)

I didn't do any blogging yesterday. Instead I continued to work on my Conger GEDCOM edit project. I also posted several "summaries" to my genealogy blog.

Once in a while I have been using the Facebook chat capability to talk (using my fingers) to some of my relatives. Yesterday cousin Diane, in Florida, and I had a nice visit about the activities surrounding their daughter's college enrollment this fall.
