Today is Monday and on Saturday Liz and I got into an argument about her willingness and desire to manage our household. This came after asking me for more help around the house. I had just spent most of the week plastering the walls in our kitchen, which caused a rather large mess, which I felt should be cleaned by someone else other than me because I was working hard on the walls. Jesus kicked me in the balls later that night when I read the sixth chapter of Life as a Vapor by John Piper entitled, Kill Anger Before It Kills You and Your Marriage. God revealed to me that anger has many disguises like picky criticism and relentless correction. One of Piper's thoughts to help see Christ in times of Anger was to Ponder the right of Christ to be angry, but how he endured the cross, as an example of long suffering. God hates sin, is angry at sin and Christ endured the sins of the world without anger but love, and future joy. I can’t even handle being asked to help around the house more.
