Anger and Forgiveness...

Have you ever been really, really just ticked off at the world? I was actually mad at another one of my friends who scared me earlier in the evening with what was supposed to be a prank. But I love this girl like my sister, and so I was really, genuinely concerned for her. It really wouldn't have been that bad if she would have just explained it to me and said sorry... but she didn't. She actually laughed about it, thinking that it was funny that I had really been concerned. Which made me really actually quite livid. (I almost hung up the phone on her, which I have like this sacred vow to never do to someone I love!)
Okay, that was me like 30 minutes ago... Why not now? Good question!
Lets just say that I have these really incredible couple of friends... one that made me laugh (and it is really hard to be mad when you are laughing) and one that got right up in my face and basically told me to snap out of it (which was a wake up call I needed). My advice... and get ready for this, cause it is pretty lame...

• First of all, it takes so much more energy to be mad at somebody, who is worth the waste? (or if you deem them worthy of it, then why are they not worthy of something infinitely more powerful and wasteful of energy? Like your love?)
• Okay, this point was straight from my friend... So God takes our shortcomings and faults, all of them millions of them that there are, and throws them into the bottom of the sea. And to top it off, He posts a sign that says "No Fishing"! If He is willing to do all that for us, who are we to not do it for the few little offenses of our neighbors?
  
• And of course... Life is too short for this much drama!
