How many of our foot in mouth moments would be avoided by the pause? You example of the letter is why every email that could elicit a response from the other side should be held for 24 hours or more. Thanks for your post; I appreciate your thoughts and willingness to share.

This hit me like a bullet. Totally been there... too many times... and with some big regrets. Stepping away from the conversation for at least a day is always necessary for me, but is still a discipline I'm trying to master. Print media is one of the most conducive to cowardliness. Phone calls and face-to-face are great stipulations for personal criticisms of any sort, for sure. Again, thanks for the reminder. Thanks, Michael. This hit me like a bullet.

The adrenaline rush of righteous anger can quickly become blinding. Even though it feels good to get snarky from time to time, it generally proves to be unproductive in the long run. I've got an email waiting in my inbox now on which I have had to hit the pause button. I may still respond with some amount of consternation, but I won't be making my response based on my knee-jerk reaction. Excellent advice.

There is no time. There is no judgment. There is no reaction, only compassion. God's plan is grander than mortal man. God's plan is within the soul of every human. We choose what actions we take, in God's plan. But if we don't acknowledge the space within, we can create all kinds of chaos. Pause. Rest. Rejoice. It is in the space between where God lives.
