Attitude

 Those of you who know me personally might already be aware, but for those of you who are not I would like to share with you that I have a chronic, nasty disease called sass. I know right, it's such a shocker, Katie Beth has an attitude problem. Yes, yes it's true, sass, humility, and attitude are three things I constantly battle. 

 We all know that old saying "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all." As much as we take that as a grain of salt so often, there is a lot of truce to that. I mean seriously, what do we gain from putting someone else down? Why would we discourage others when we could encourage them? For everyone we converse with is a Child of God, we should treat them like one. 

 People have no idea what effect their words may have on people, myself at the front of the line. Yes, you may be "joking" but there's always a little truth and a little pain behind every "just kidding." On top of that, it literally costs $0 to be kind. So why don we do this more often? Do we most wish to be embarrassed or called weird? Hm, that's funny because when Jesus was taking a beating for you telling that girl her shoes were ugly, do you think he was worried about what other humans thought of him?
