A Good Way To Handle It

"Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord."

Romans 12:19

Many years ago during a Knicks-Bullets playoff game, one of the Bullets came up from behind the great Walt Frazier and punched him in the face. Strangely, the referee called a foul on Frazier. Frazier didn't complain. His expression never changed. He simply called for the ball and put in seven straight shots to win the game, an amazing display of productive anger. If you want to get huffy about it, it was a great moral lesson as well.

Prayer: Ask the Lord to help you deal productively with any feelings for revenge.

"Donation for the blind."
~Written on the memo line of a $1,000.00 check that Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson paid for disputing a strike called by umpire Joe West
"The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible."
