I Had. A Bad. Experience.

“I had. A bad. Experience.”

Remember this line from The Italian Job?

It was Left Ear talking to Charlie Croker, explaining why he doesn’t like dogs.

I love that line. It made me laugh.

And I can relate. Not that I feel that way about dogs—but other things…

I had. A bad. Experience.

Another way to say it: I have issues.

The Bible has something to say about issues:

“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4.23 NKJV)

We CAN’T always determine the conditions or circumstances of life. Things happen, ya know?

We CAN guard our heart—so that it’s not full of issues that control our lives.
