- The Plague shared about things that have helped him gain peace/tranquility in life. The main thing I’ve worked on is continuing to improve letting go and learning how to respond when challenges arise or things don’t go my way.
- “When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.” But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.” – Acts 28:4-5
- In some seasons of my life, I have held on to what was hurting me.

- I didn’t do what Paul did; I didn’t shake off the snake, didn’t fling it into the fire.
- Which leads me to ask this question: How long are you going to let a snake have free rent on your hand?
- It’s just a question, because I get disappointed too. I get offended too. I get bitter too.
- But here’s the way I look at: it can’t kill you if all it does is break the skin. The snake only kills Paul if he allows the venom to get in.
- You can get bit, but it’s up to you if you’re going to get bitter.
- Big Unit closed in prayer
Aye!
The Plague
