Sunday lessons

Enjoyed the lesson this morning on Psalm 56 and 57. These were psalms of David praising, beseeching, and proclaiming his trust for God under times of extreme stress when people were trying to kill him. Sometimes when you feel paranoid they really are trying to get you.

Her teaching evoked strong emotion in me. That makes me uncomfortable. That probably means it is good for me right? She started off with a long story about a four year believing in a man killing children. Later she found out it was a boogie man story. But at four years old the boogie man seems real. I remember stories like that. Yeah, even when I realized what she was talking about it still did evoke emotions of fear and panic. I could identify with the story.

Then a female pastor gave her sermon on addiction. This was part two of a two parter. How can someone talk so long and so well on that? I was impressed. I do not feel I am much of an enabler but I probably do need to pray about my part in causing people to do things that are bad. I think I do provoke some people. I'm not sure how to deal with that. DW says simply I need to pray about my anger. Me? Angry? Heh.

I see it a bit differently but anger is how it presents itself I guess.
