Bill's problem

During a Bible study last night, the pastor made this observation based on his years of counseling:

"If Bill and Mary have a problem,
and Bill and Joe have a problem,
and Bill and Bob have a problem

... then Bill's the problem."

Hmmm. Sometimes one of those gauges for your internal health is your external relationships. It can also be a quick way to do a spiritual inventory. Take a look at the people around you and how you are getting along with them.

How are you doing?

^"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."

Romans 12:18 NIV

"Work at getting along with each other and with God. Otherwise you'll never get so much as a glimpse of God. Make sure no one gets left out of God's generosity. Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent. A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time."

Hebrews 12:14-15 (The Message)
