Locust trees & Feeling Miffed: THE CONNECTION

Locusts are a great hard wood for fires, 

have fragrant long flower bunches

in the spring... 

    and thorns. 

Young branches have tiny bitty protrusions 

you can mock as useless defense-- 

much like a young kitten's claws 

that can't hurt you. BUT.. they grow long, hard, actually dangerous: 

Can cut deep into your skin- causing blood to flow fast.

SO WHAT ??

FEELING MIFFED is a joke I've used: 

"I may get miffed a lot, 

              but I seldom get actually angry." 

Today cutting down various length locust thorns NEGLECTED for months, 

growing in far end of yard, I realized: 

We each   "invite" dangerous sin 

by not cutting down the little miff feelings... 

 before they grow in time to actual   FURY. 

What does LORD God say ??    James 1:15 b:
   "...sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth DEATH."
