So when I’m not loving, not joyful, not at peace, not patient, not kind, not well behaved, not full of faith, not gentle and all out of control, like all over my emotional page; what am I?
Sinning.

Tight Beam
1 Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. source Galatians 6
My first attention was drawn to two words: anyone, any.
Anyone of us and any trespass.
We. Each of us. Any one of us is at risk to be overtaken in any trespass.
So, what is a trespass anyway? Study Light dot org says (in part) to deviate from the right path. Turn aside. Wander.
In our modern English, how about the word trespass?
What have we done when we trespass?
We might say we have wandered off to a place that is not ours; a place we do not have permission to be.
Are you getting this with me?
Anyone of us is at risk for wandering off to a place that we do not have permission from The Holy Spirit to be. And because of this, we have a command here in Galatians 6 to look out for one another and to keep a tight beam on ourselves as well.
May we each be strengthened today against any and every trespass.
O Foolish Galatians
1. O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, to whom Jesus Christ before was described in your sight, and among you crucified? Galatians 3 source
In the stillness these words scrolled: Who has bewitched you o foolish One that you think because you toil to put food on the table for your family that somehow relieves you of your duty and privilege to pore over the Scriptures and pray? Who has bewitched you o foolish One that you think this 21st century with all its trappings and technology has replaced humanity’s need for the personal touch of GOD and that of one another?
And here I sit before technology. . . 
may we capture it for His glory and for the good of one another.
