My
favorite comedian during my teen
years was Bill Cosby. He had a
comedy routine entitled “Why Is
There Air?” His classic answer
was “to blow up footballs and
basketballs, etc.”. And in a
sense, the question, “What is
anger?” has a similar answer.
“To get my way, make other
people feel bad, make me feel
better, etc.”. But is that what
anger is all about? I have read
a number of books on the topic
of anger, and Dr. Robert Jones’
book, “Uprooting Anger—Biblical
Help for a Common Problem” is
at the top of the list. What
makes it so helpful is that it
deals with uprooting anger from
the heart—just like you do the
weeds in your garden and lawn.
In years
past, many have perceived our
Family Enrichment Retreats as
events for couples. But there
isn’t anyone who is a part of
the human race who doesn’t
struggle with anger. This year’s
Retreat is geared toward anyone
who draws breath and walks on
two legs living on planet earth.
The last time I looked, that
included everyone! Please mark
your calendars and make
arrangements to be with us for
this helpful weekend!
