Just me trying to be honest with God.

“I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood 40 years!” Steel Magnolias

“A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.“Prov.29 ESV

I am easily irritated. It is no surprise to me then that God's Spirit has made it a priority to teach me to control my spirit. I have, after all, asked that He deliver me from evil. Sometimes I think He does this not by tempting me, but by testing me. Situations arise every day so that I can practice self-control, always with His help but usually not at points I prefer. It may just be that learning to keep my aggravations to myself is the first step in controlling what aggravates me in the first place. 1/2/2011 Conversations Within ts (Gulf Shores)
