Five correct ways to deal with anger: 1. Suppress. Restrain; subdue the negative expression (Prov. 29:11; Prov. 17:14; Prov. 20:3). 2. Assess. Evaluate the situation objectively. a. Consider the other person’s perspective. b. Consider your contribution to the problem (Matt. 7:3-5; James 1:19). 3. Confess. “Say the same thing as God” (I John 1:9). 4. Process. Proceed to make it right. a. “Turn the other cheek” (Matt. 5:39). b. Gentle answer (Prov. 15:1). c. Meekness (Eph. 4:2; I Peter 3:15). d. Forgiveness (Matt. 18:22; Col. 3:13). e. Give a blessing (I Peter 3:9). 5. Access. In computer terminology this means “to connect with,” “to communicate with.” The foregoing behavioral expressions must be a result of the Christian having 'accessed' with God (1 Peter 2:23).

Gee whiz Douglas,

Is it smaller than Chickasha? That is where you lived, right?

You'll be happy to know nothing has changed here in Oklahoma. All anyone has
talked about for a month is the upcoming "Bedlam" game. Interesting on a
different level for me; as an Alabama Crimson Tide fan I could really care
less on a personal level who wins. It is interesting that this is the first
time since I moved here in 1990 that I can remember so many OSU fans being *
sure * they can beat the #1 ranked Sooners. UA has an off week (thank the
Lord, they need one), so I will be watching to see if OSU can make it 3 in a
row, which I'm hoping happens just to throw the BCS farce into a tailspin
with a bunch of probable 1 loss teams claiming they should be in the title
game.
