“Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. ‘It is written,’ he said to them, ”My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers’” (Matthew 21:12-13)
Anger? I grew up afraid to speak out about anger. I was afraid of it. As a result I shut down my feelings and emotions. Emotions if not expressed will come out in other ways. I told my husband “always tell me how you feel, and I will do the same. Let’s communicate with honesty and discuss our issues, and not stuff them”. I had to learn to be angry. I went a class in Dallas, Tx entitled “ A way out”. In that class, I learned how to express anger. The teacher put boxing gloves on me, I had to punch that bag until I could feel the anger. It was a journey for me, but well worth the effort. Please, don’t ask me to do something, and then if a better situation comes along, you will go in that direction. Be upfront with me. I can handle that, but I cannot handle not being told what you decided to do instead and then being left in the lurch and wondering. I guess in my golden years, I want peace and happiness. Maybe I should buy me a log cabin by a river, buy a fishing pole with a cork, and enjoy the solitude of being alone. It’s a thought, I think I like it.
