Excessively loud folks will never be chased down by blessings as the quietly humble ones are!
Arrogance appears in society in many forms and not just in those committing crimes.
Arrogance appears in society in many forms and not just in those committing crimes.
Because so many forms of arrogance have become so prevalent and common every where possibly imaginable, many are suckered into sinful living even though they do not want to be.
Habitual loud talk or yelling is a habit formed to gain attention on one self.
Sometimes this habit is formed so as to be noticed saying with one's volume rather than with words: "Look at me...I am important.
Some are so arrogant as to even say it: "If you want to get anywhere around here...It is ME you want to get to know!
Others even more arrogant than they say: "If you want to be welcome here, IT IS ME you better get to know!"
These habits of poor communication actually over time cause many to do things out of frustration and desperation and sometimes this frantic behaviors that would have never happened if not oppressed with such pressure as being yelled at...sadly sometimes these lead to crimes even murder of ones friends, brothers, or neighbors...
And thus many continue to live in prisons of their own making.
But today we witnessed one African American man who refused to take part in arrogant folly at the Hammond Louisiana Senior Center.

Ironically all who speak much louder than necessary are actually hungry for friends....hungry for your friendship...
hungry for our friendship.....possibly yours!
Often when we visit places whether the Hammond Louisiana Senior Center today, or even Catholic Churches from New Orleans to North Carolina down into Florida and back...
From Madisonville Louisiana all along the Northshore of Lake Pontchatrain...and beyond people ache for our friendship but they realize not that they push us away with their loud talk.
When anyone talks louder than necessary....run fast the other way or get caught up in the hostility their volume creates!
Today we witnessed this one respectable African American man do just this...
He recognized who is worth holding onto and who is not!
He recognized the man at the table with him was not capable of a simple civil kind conversation and refused to be the target of this man's self righteous arrogance...and knew it was time to walk away and did!
Our grateful applause to this senior man who unlike his table comrade whom he left behind was seeking a fight over anything anyone would fight him over...
This humble wise one will be chased down with blessings his entire life for his honorable way of living.
We have not yet had the honor of meeting him and knowing his name!
But Almighty God has been watching as HE sees and records all that each one ever speaks!
We will all be held accountable for every single word we ever speak because our words always are creating something but what they create depends on the words we choose to speak!
The man seeking conflict with who ever would give it to him was left to grumble alone as others followed the lead of he who walked off and out to eat lunch some where else...
others got up and joined other tables and eventually this grumbler's grumbles turned to mumbles till he realized not one was listening to him...then there was actually almost silence for a "little while" while the rest were just happy to eat their meal.
Each of us has the choice to walk and speak softly and enjoy the company and love of many!
Each one can choose God's best and be blessed with many friends who love them by choosing to speak honeycomb kindness, and respectfully addressing others...never leaning on another's wife or husband...
But seeking a wife or husband of their own.
These folks will always have friends and never be alone!
You too can be a Jacob or an Esther too and never be blue!
We do and so can you!
