Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Slow to anger. Very important, so when someone is being mean to you, it is critical to take a breath, and to be quick to forgive. When someone feels fear over someones anger, it means they take them as a threat. He is a brother in Christ, not a threat. Begone enemy, and let me look at my brother in a new light. He is acting that way because he hurts. And I beleive that I know why. I struggle to know what he is going through, but the logic is very tense. Its very difficult for me to be able to rationalize. It is important for me to know that there is an importance to what I can do. I need to take a step back.

The next 3 days are going to be special for that. Possibly 4 by technicality. I just need to breathe, to focus on joy, and not let the joy be ripped away from me. I am just trying to help, and the way they feel may be harsh, but I know that it has logic as well. I need to breathe. I need to function. And frankly, taking a breath is what I need.

Listen to the sounds. Just take a breath. Forget about it all. Let the tension go. let it drain away. slow down.....nice and easy.
