Anger, as an emotion, is neutral. It exists and we all feel it from time-to-time. What we do with it is the moral question. Going into rage, "acting out of anger", is morally reprehensible. As a father of four (now grown) children, I can tell you there were many times I had to bite my tongue or even leave the room. Most times, parents don't want to argue with their kids, it's very tiring, "pick your battles" we are told. I believe that in some circumstances, even if few, our anger can be risen enough to overcome this "parental inertia" to correct a child where it is desperately needed. I call this righteous anger, and there are Biblical references to this. I think I probably spanked my kids maybe once in their lives, but I can assure you it was in righteous anger; my kids may not exactly agree! :-)

Dear All,
I had a stroke on 11/5 and spent a week in the hospital. I am doing well, but will need surgery in the coming weeks; please continue to pray for me.
Thanks,
-John.
We're going to a local zoo tomorrow - haven't been there in a LONG time. I'm looking forward to it, I find it peaceful. If you have a nearby zoo, consider visiting it soon if you haven't been there in a while. :-)

The epic tale of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has a moral to the story: at the end, after crying "wolf!" falsely and laughing at the woodsmen who comes to "save him", the wolf really does appear and now the woodsmen don't respond to his cries for help. We are seeing that in today's society: these hyperventilating, mouth-frothing, extremists have been screaming that it's "the end of democracy" or "everyone's a racist, bigot, -phobe, (insert whatever here)", or "the climate is going to implode in 12 years" are in for a rude awakening. The wolf is November 8th.
