Anger management. Ironically, most of the people who think other people are the people who need anger management seem to be so angry about it. And that makes me so angry.
Not really. I’m just using absurdity to expose absurdity.
The reason I brought it up is because of an article on the subject. And it talked about how some people (weak-minded ones) are so upset when other people (Christians) speak up boldly. The people in that first group call Christians “haters.” And they “hear” only anger from those “haters.” Sadly, many of the Christian “haters” hear those accusations and then apologize.
And, indirectly, they become victims of controlled anger management.
You don’t fall for that nonsense. Right? Because you understand what God says about anger. A short, well-known verse in the Bible says,
“Be angry and do not sin, do not let the sun go down on your wrath…”
Notice how it says to “be angry.” It doesn’t tell you NOT to be angry. Because when activities and circumstances go against God, it should make you angry. Just don’t let it make you sin. Because sin makes you stupid.
Admit it. Don’t you get mad when politicians, for the umpteenth time, take your money and give it to someone else? I sure do. And even though it burns me up, I don’t go to bed worrying about it.
Because I know the answer to the problems. Not only do I know, I trust. Because the answer is my Creator. Jesus isn’t gonna allow politicians and anybody else who hates Him to rant on forever. One day, maybe sooner than anyone might imagine, He’ll put an end to it. I call that hope and joy.
But enough of my soapbox preachin’. Check out these lyrics to a song about a guy who some might say needs some anger management. But is that really the case? You be the judge. And if you wanna hear the song, it’s included in my FunderCast. Episode 175
You Ain’t Got Nothin’ Over Me
I don’t know why you have to give me all those funny looks
I ain’t no Redford, but you ain’t no girl from Sunnybrook’s
If looks could kill, I’d need a will, but
You ain’t got nothin’ over me
You miss the point when you say I don’t know anything
You’re just upset ’cause you never got a diamond ring
I told you so, and now you know
You ain’t got nothin’ over me
You like to brag about your little German sports car
I’ll take my Mustang, and I don’t care what the odds are
Go on adjust, and eat my dust
You ain’t got nothin’ over me…
Your sense of humor doesn’t make a bit of sense to me
And your rebuttals; well they’ll only get you sympathy
You don’t play fair, but I don’t care
You ain’t got nothin’ over me!
You’ve got a problem with your social and emotional
You think you read me, but your literate ain’t functional
And you’re no sage so act your age
You ain’t got nothin’ over me!
Chorus…
I look around and you’re there
You like to get in my hair
You’ve got me bent out of shape
How did they let you escape?
