Just so you all will know, Triston is not himself today. He's been up some,
but for some reason I can not keep him lying in bed so that he can be sick.
I finally have convenced him to come in here on the couch in the office
while I am writing. Maybe at least he might get some rest. I might not be
in here much this weekend because I also need to get ready. I'm singing
There's Just Something About that name and Oh How He love you and me
tomorrow at church. Okay everyone, take care.

> When Jesus was in the Temple He threw out the money-changers

> bringing about justice, and even punishment at times. In
> Ephesians 4:26, Paul tells us to be angry, but not to sin or
> keep holding onto anger. "In your anger do not sin; Do not
> let the sun go down while you are still angry." (NIV) Anger
> is good when God is in control of it, and in control of our

> according to God's will, and help us express our thoughts
> and feelings in honest but loving ways. Anger can help

> The problem is that we still have a difficult time
