I'll bring the SuzieQ's and the Sno-Balls. Smeagol's contribution to the endmoot since he hates lembas! Chokes him, they does.

Steve's pretty aware that something is amiss. I doubt if he'd go to counseling, though...he'd be too humiliated.

When he went to Promise Keepers, he came home with a different attitude that lasted for a long time. I might find something like that...

I guess there are worse things than grumpiness to have to live with.

Really! After all, he could smell like g'nad...

LOL! I think that psychologist that I had the fight with in Sunday School has something...

Oops, that would probably give you an anger management problem. ;^)

I always wondered if some kind of seminar we could do together would be a good thing...

Definitely something you could do together would be best. How about some sort of Bible study together? Find a book or study that has to do with something you know he believes you need help with and do that one. Then when you are done with that pick up one dealing with anger.

As a Christian Steve shouldn't be carrying that kind of anger around. We should be full of joy knowing that the Creator of the Universe loves us enough to want to have a relationship with us.

And another thing...this comes in waves. Things will be ok for a while...months even... and then it's like a roller coaster ride for a few months. Then all is well for a time. It's exhausting.

Failed miserably. It's a sad story, but very enlightening on how missionaries are trained. (They're not)

I'm sorry to hear about that. When you have time I'd love to hear about it though.

One of my wife's students handed her a flier today for a "Hell House" their church is having. You know, scare the hell out of 'em and bring 'em to Jesus. She may take Corin, Jr. and his friends. But those things give me the creeps. (probably like they're s'posed to...)

That's what I keep trying to tell him! He's supposed to have the peace that passes understanding and it breaks my heart to have him angry all the time. He is missing so much joy and life is such a blast!

He's pretty shook up, I think...after last night. Maybe I can convince him to do something.

I really kinda like him, you know...

Now that's a living.

My cats get fed twice a day. And I am nothing more than their supplier, since my male cat has a severe addiction to Pounce. They get to sit the window and look at the world. Their kitty litter is cleaned up pretty regularly. The world revolves around them... ah, yes, that's living.

How about all of you...

Finally when I hit 40 I realized my dream job was to be a Disney animator, but that shipped sailed a long time ago when I chose music, not art as a major (then English, then Speech...I was confuzed)...

Now I think I want a job where I can live in my beach house and write and paint all day long...

I think I get it. Growing up with my Dad was like that. I can pretty weill compartmentalize stress... One thing going wrong in one place doesn't mean I can't function everywhere else and be nice to people who didn't cause the problem.

But not my Dad... If he is mad about something, he treats everyone the same. So I never really knew if he was mad about me, something at work, or someone who cut him off on the freeway. Everyone gets the same treatment.

"RWRF is still being held captive by orcs........""

I think it's elves he said that have imprisoned him.

Maybe you should suggest first that he join a PK small group. They do some pretty intense studies. It would be with other guys and less threatening. Plus he'd have a chance to b*tch with his buddies and maybe not be so surly at home...just a thought.

Is he swedish? I've heard people say that is the way swedish people are! LOL

But that is exactly it with Steve. You never know if you've offended him or the elastic in his underwear is too tight.

Good thinking!
