Every Thought

Take every thought captive:
Lest the thought become an idea
Lest the idea become an inspiration
Lest the inspiration become a dream
Lest the dream become a focus
Lest the focus become a distraction
Lest the distraction become a hindrance
Lest the hindrance become a detriment
Lest the detriment become a thorn
Lest the thorn become a wound
Lest the wound become an infection
And the thought left unbridled become my undoing

TisraUh oh. What are you planning? It sounds like Mary's got wild schemes churning. :-)

KristyCan you email that to me? Taking thoughts captive is a new thought to one of our SaveOne students and I think she would really like it since she's all literary and stuff.

MaryTisra - No wild schemes...it's more a realization of what the little sparks can do. My simple little plans to be creative can sometimes become a burden and my innocent desires to have something can become a source of jealousy or spite. It all starts with a thought.
