Yesterday morning I woke up angry, irritable, and hurting…for no
specific reason. Felt annoyed by lots of
little things – in fact, just about everything made me mad! I tried to talk out why with Don, but that
didn’t help or make the feelings go away.

Fathers, Don't Exasperate Your Children...
…instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of
the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4 NIV)
To start with, what is exasperate? From
Dictionary.com, exasperate means “to irritate
or provoke to a
high degree; annoy extremely.”
What is Paul trying to say? And why is
it addressed to fathers only, and not parents in general?

Close Enough
Close enough is OK when you're describing an event but miss a few details.
Close enough is OK when you're parallel parking.
Close enough is even OK when you're hanging a picture and you're not quite at the center of the wall.
But close enough is not OK when it comes to obeying God.

about their struggles and their victories. Some of them are struggling now, and
have been going through the same struggles for quite some time. They have
sought counsel, prayed, and tried. And yet they remain strugglers.
