My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,  because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
(James 1:19-20)

My anger sometimes has a life of it's own and is terribly difficult for me to control without God's help and guidance.  I'm not one to fly off the handle without being provoked, but I am one to stand up and fight back when I feel that I'm being wronged.  I have mellowed as I've aged, but I still have trouble keeping my anger under wraps.  God does not approve of my anger and I continue to try and tame it and the hold it has over me.  As usual, the Holy Spirit is my hidden weapon and I need to tap into this amazing resource.
