Controlling anger is a sign of spiritual
growth forthechildofGod. When
one responds to someone's actions in
a negative way, by reacting with revenge,
they are regarded by the writer
as a fool. In proverbs a fool is referred
to as one who hates God and the
things of God. As a child of God
sometimes we have to grin and bear
humiliation by others rather than respond
with wrath. When one fails to
act in a Godly manner they will be
sony for the wrong they have caused
and have to apologize and repent for
tneir wrong. A prudent man will swallow
his pride and not allow the foolish
actions of others to cause him to do
anything that he might be sorry for
. When one allows anger to swell up
m him it will cause him to act foolishly
It can cause a problem in relationships
with friends, coworkers, and
family. One needs to be careful that
ne does not cause those he loves to
have an attitude that they hate to see
mm coming. It is so easy to just fly off

On the other hand is the wicked
man who is calculating and plots to
d,oes not 8et upset, but
patiently waits for the appropriate time
[??f'even- The difference in this
kind of person and the one who reacts
inunediately is that the one who reacts
quick is sorry for his wrong and
seeks forgiveness. Those who have
been hurt or offended by him will
have compassion for him and accept
his apology. The plotter, on the other

He who has no control over his
own spirit has no protection. If one

eve^thing that he does. He will not
be able to focus his foil attention to his
work or whatever that he may be

Acting out of wrath or anger can
bring about very nasty situations, but

much worse to face. Envy or jealousy
can be much more intense than anger
or wrath. Harboring jealousy can over
a period of time cause one to plot and
cause much heartache and pain to
family and friends. Those who are
inflamed with anger in most cases
will put aside their malice in time, but

A man who is careless with words
has less hope than a fool. Being hasty
contributes to quick temper, sinfiil
actions, careless work, and disastrous
decisions. Relationships can be damSed
or even be destroyed by this kind
behavior. One who is controlled
by anger fails to develop lasting
relationships. They do not make good
moral decisions and they can cause
people to walk as if they are on thin
ice when they are around them.
Contagious Anger
fProv, 22:24-25/
The writer warns us that we need
to shy away from those>who are angry
all the time. They can cause us to pick
up their ways. My grandfather had a
saying that he often quoted to me; and
that was that "one would soon become
as the company that they kept."
If you spend time with those who are
evil then you will become as they are.
Many times new converts are deceived
by the devil into thinking that they
can win their friends by continuing to
associate with them, instead most of
the time they are brought, down to
their level. In order for Adam'to communicate
with Eve after her fall he
had to get to her level. Christians
cannot associate with the world and
be spiritually mature in the Lord as
they ought to.
Controlled Anger [Prov. 14:29,
15:18, 16:32, 19:1 IJ
The man who is able to control his
anger understands how to deal with
bad situations. He has two virtues,
patience and composure. A man who
can restrain himself in a controversy
can think clearly and make wise decisions
to recoil the problem.
The man of wrath stirs up trouble
instead ofheading off trouble. In many
cases he is known as a troublemaker
because he in most cases is looking
for trouble. On the other hand, the
man who is slow to anger is a peacemaker.
When trouble is brewing there
needs to be someone around who can
settle a dispute.
The control of anger is not an easy
thing forone to do; but with the Lord's
help it can be done. Controlling anger
is better than winning mighty battles.
It is a wise man who controls his
temper. A man who controls anger
controls circumstances and their actions.
A sign of spiritual maturity is
when one can get angry $nd not sin.
. Soipetimes there is a time for ChristianS
to get angry about things that are
morally wrong.
God bless all of you until next
week.

I just love life Everyday 1 see something
that keeps nic reeling good inside.
Just take the other day. On our
way home Scrapiron wanted a RC
cola and a square nab so we slopped at
a small country store
Upon entering the little country
store, we noticed a sign sav ing "DAGGER!
BEWARE OF DOG'" posted
on the glass door Inside 1 noticed a
harmless old hound dog asleep on the
floor beside the drink box ,
I asked the store keeper. "Is THAT
the dog folks are supposed to beware
of'"
"Yep. that's him." he replied
1 couldn't help from smiling and
saving. "That certainly doesn't look
like a dangerous dog to me. Why in
the World would you post that sign''"
"Because", the storekeeper replied,
"before I posted that sign folks just
kept tripping over 'Old Blu"'.

Native Americans re-connect
the family at annual camp
WHITE MOUNTAIN, Ariz.
(UMNS) -'-Native Americans attending
a recent national United Methodist
camp rededicated themselves to
the spiritual and social healing qfithe
family.
Approximately 324 people of all
ages attended the annual 'Native
American Family Camp, July 16-21
to be nourished and valued by other
family members. Each segment of the
family was ministered to in an attempt
to achieve "weaving" or a reconnection
of the family.
Camp participants attended classes
on Apache bead and basket -making,
the Bible, evangelism, servant leadership,
the United Methodist Social
Principles and writing.
A highlight of this years camp was
the participation in Project Eagle, a
primarily Native American-oriented
exercise that offered participants opportunity
to establish or reestablish
relationships with those who are meaningful
to them. During the project,
individuals spent a day placed in situations
which required that they analyze
and evaluate problems, organize
themselves and delegates responsibilities,
trusting that others will cooperate.
The goal was to provide a level
"playing field" and a safe environment
for open, honest and meaningful
interaction between parent and
child as well as members of the Eagle.
Within the project was thecreation
ofa^human dream-catchef, an exer
cise where each member of a group
shared his or her dreams and threw a
ball of red yam to another who supported
and vatidatetLohfr thrower's
dream. The yam was thrown until it
was intertwined and connected in a
weave or web, a symbolic reinforcement
connecting the bonds of the
family.
In an advance statement, planners
for the camp outlined realities facing
native Americans today. They noted
that within the last 20 years movement
of Native American families
from reservations to town and cities
has cut them off from traditional
strength and spirituality of family.
Families remaining on reservations
and in tribal areas also have experienced
the social ills of society, "simply
because they have lost their connectedness
to their families and to
God", the statement said.
Contributing to the "rapid decay'
of the Native American family, the
statement said, are social problems
such as alcohol and drug abuse, divorce,
child abuse, school drop outs,
and teen suicide.
The overall purpose of the annual
camp is to educate, inspire and provide
fellowship for native Americans.
A major focus of each camp is to build
self-esteem among native American
youth and to help them understand
the mission and ministry ofthe United
Methodist Church. The denomination
counts about 17,500 Native
Americans among its 8.5 million US
members.
