I've been dry these past days and I know the reason why. My temper is at the tip of my nose and about to break free and I'm trying my hardest to reign it because I know if I do it will not be good (I sound like the Hulk, "You won't like me when I'm angry" grrr!).
Why this anger? It's very hard to say but it started with a small incident that happened online. Someone wrote something that I didn't agree with and I didn't say that I didn't agree with it, I actually overlooked it - even though I thought they were completely wrong. Then this person did something online that was unnecessary and I wanted to tell them just how unnecessary it was - but not in a nice way. I had to reign my anger in at that incident because I didn't want to hurt the person or hurt my relationship with the person.
The anger got worse when not that many hours later I read the comments people were making over at youtube about the parents of my little cousin and got angry all over again. I suppose it's different when you are on the other side and actually know how a 4 year old could end up in such a position. It's also different when you personally know the parents.
I'm siting here aware of my anger and remembering one verse,
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon
your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
Eph 4:26-27.
In bringing this to God I realise how bad my temper still is and am asking him to help me with it. I realise how much I need him when I see what I want to do, but yet I praise him because I know that if he had not helped me thus far I might have said things already that I would later regret and I might have hurt someone along the way.

Sometimes anger is like a big sore.
It can fester and fester, and we can pick and pick UNTIL we deal with it.
Or
It can just take time to heal.
Or
You can wack a bandaid on it and hope it goes away.
