I think I just had a revelation! I dont think it was from God, maybe just my innerself. Well it could have been from God, he just sent it through my innerself. Im not quite sure, im pretty finite. haha. But i just realized that I, as well as alot of other people, need to control their emotions. Because if you don't, youll soon be taken over by that emotion. And and by that time, you wont be thinking about more important issues. I think that emotions are just a test from God. And you just have to overcome these tests, learn from them, and move on, becasue if you dont youll always be dwelling on that test.
I guess i should have told you why i got this revelation. I woke up at 5:30 am to blasting music from Adu, and i got extremely pissed off. I kept trying to go back to bed, but i just kept dwelling on the fact that someone would have music blasting at 5:30 in the freakin morning! I got to the point where i was just fuming. I wanted to rip someones head off. Then it hit me like a pile of rocks, why would i get to the point of being angry over a simple thing like that. I shouldve just got up, and asked Adu to turn it down, and go back to bed. So i said a quick prayer for forgiveness( i had a few choice words in my head for him) and calmed down. Im glad i realized this now, so now i know if i dont control my emotionsm, ill start becoming irrational. Which will eventually lead to making bad choices. And of course, life is full of choices!

Rich, a cooler head will always prevail. Sometimes (maybe most of the time) taking a step back and cooling down is the best thing to do. You just learned a good lesson about maintaining your composure.
PS this may be my second comment to your recent blog. I tried to log on and couldn't. I was getting mad and upset! Then I read your blog again and cooled down. JUST KIDDING...but only about the getting mad. I did try logging on and couldn't. Love ya, Dad
Rock on! You're having revelations from your experience!
Funny story: Before I went to Africa the first time I couldn't stand my younger brother Jay. Then in Zimbabwe my revelation was, just to accept him the way he was even if he was annoying and immature and love him anyway. When I got back to the States he tried to do the same old things to annoy me but I just wouldn't get annoyed because I saw him differently. Then we started to get along really great.
-Sorry that's a really long comment to leave, but that's just one example.
