I also received an email that discounted and attacked my personal beliefs, but didn't see it until just a little bit before today's Good Friday service, so I spent the service thinking numerous responses (as I felt a response was necessary) rather than spending that time focused on Jesus's sacrifice for us. Even when I did have a little bit of time to write my response, that time, and thus my writing, was forced.
Playing video games with my children brought only more frustration (and swearing and yelling) rather than relief. All of this just compounds guilt upon my already throbbing head.
I hate feeling this kind of anger; it gets so easily misdirected.
Lord, please help me to learn to not take offense so easily, to calm my nerves, and to use the energy from my anger towards positive ends.
