Here is a list of a few things I don’t really need to hear any further discussion about:

1. Boiled spinach
2. The actual surface temperature of the sun
3. Lady Gaga’s latest album sales
4. Close up pictures of dust mites
5. … and Obama’s birth certificate

Just sayin’

So, I happen to think that mercilessly killing spiders is a GREAT way to work out anger.  But ,apparently there is more to the whole “healthy way to cope” with anger thing.

Sermon notes, from Clark Whitten, today at Grace Church:

“It is better to be slow tempered than famous; it is better to have self control than control of an army.” Proverbs 16:32 (LB)1. Remember the results.  “A hot tempered man starts fights and gets into all kinds of trouble.”  Proverbs 29:22 (LB)  “Hot tempers cause arguments.” Proverbs 15:18 (GN)
2. Reflect before reacting. “A stupid man gives free reign to his anger; a wise man waits and lets it grow cold.” Proverbs 29:11 (NEB) “The man of few words and settled mind is wise; therefore even a fool is thought to be wise when he is silent.  It pays him to keep his mouth shut.” Proverbs 17:17-18 (LB)
3. Restrain your remarks. “If you want to stay out of trouble, be careful what you say.” Proverbs 21:23 (GN) “A gentle answer quiets anger, but a harsh one stirs it up.” Proverbs 15:1 (GN)

Anger begets anger.  Do not express or repress but confess the issues at hand before God

Yesterday was a rough day that I am not going to go into right now. So, I cleaned my porch, did all my laundry, did some house cleaning, yes … eventually prayed (well …) and read/listened to this card that a friend sent last week again. Today is much better

This song keeps popping up in my random shuffle on my iPhone. It’s hitting me on a couple/three levels. I just bought Adele’s album and really like her a lot.

“Stay”cation Winding Down … in 4 Days … mwwhhhahhahahahahThe problems I have with “staycations” instead of normal “vacations” are …

1. “Staycation” sounds … wrong. Like when people say “vacay” instead of vacation … I just don’t get it.
2. Laundry - on vacation you can just unpack and then throw the dirty laundry back in the suitcase with the fleeting thought of, “I’ll have to do the laundry when I get home … la la la” and go romp around on the beach/hike a mountain/swim in a pool … On “staycation” I am blogging to pass the time as I tackle a big pile of clothes.
3. Sure… I saved a lot of money by staying at home. But … what does that mean when your annual home insurance bill arrives and just sucks the life out of everything? … leaving you crying in front of the mail box?  Just kidding.  I didn’t cry … in front of the mailbox … you know, neighbors around … and stuff.
4. Being at home or in downtown London or at the top of the world in Chicago … it doesn’t matter.  I can eat badly anywhere.
5. Being at home though … I have slept *good.*  Gotten some GREAT rest and that is what I needed.
