"What?" you say. "Habitualize that conduit of immorality and tabloidism?"
Well, no. I mean, develop a "Today's Verse" habit. I use a 3x5 card, slipped into my back pocket. The verse comes from a quick devotional reading, or Morning/Evening Prayer from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, or the weekly scripture assignment for a Bible study I attend.
Most often, a verse will stand out. My best friend calls them "little diamonds," those verses.
Then, when the inevitable loveless, loud, self-centered, short-sighted, rude, unbelieving, unenduring, imperfect, faithless, hopeless thoughts occur, I pull out my TV and it sets me straight.
