The Power Of Soft Answers
April 10, 2012
My car broke down in a tunnel during rush hour in downtown Boston. Angry drivers expressed their frustration as they struggled past me. Eventually, the car was towed to a station for repairs. Later it broke down again, stranding me along the Interstate at 2 a.m. Back to the shop it went.
Unfortunately, the repair shop also doubled as a parking lot during Red Sox baseball games. When I arrived after work the next day to pick up my car, it was hemmed in by 30 other vehicles!
Lets just say I was less than Christlike in my initial reaction. I ranted and raved, and then, realizing it was only making them less willing to help me at the close of their day, I decided to give up. I stormed toward the glass doors and struggled to get them open. My anger increased when the station workers laughed at me.
I had barely made it out when I realized how unlike Christ Id been. Chastened, I rapped on the locked doors and mouthed Im sorry to the staff inside. They were stunned! They let me back in, and I meekly told them that Christians shouldnt behave as I had. Minutes later, they were shifting cars to free up mine. I learned the truth that soft rather than harsh words can change circumstances (Prov. 15:1).
O may I find in angers grip
The strength to temper tongue and lip;
But failing that, may God grant me
The courage for apology. Kilgore
A soft answer has often been
the means of breaking a hard heart.
Read: Proverbs 15:1-4

Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace! We who remain hold you in high honor. Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct; We who remain keep this place sacred. Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades; We who remain keep the watch. Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nations call; We who remain press the fight forward in your name. Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden; We who remain have taken up the torch. Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Aloha, Biglook! I hope you had a Blessed and Happy Easter! My number 3 son turns sixteen tomorrow. He's our cancer survivor - diagnosed shortly after his 5th birthday. Spent a year in weekly chemo and six weeks in daily radiation treatment. We almost lost him to a C. difficile infection during treatment, but he pulled through. I thought I knew about courage after coming home from the war - David showed me dimensions of courage I had not previously seen.

It went very well, thanks! We deviated from the classic Easter Dinner and had ribeyes on the grill. My youngest son, John Man, did the grilling. He hit a home run - they were excellent! - A nice Old Vine Zinfandel (Rubus) to accompany it.
We went to the 12:00 Noon Liturgy at our church - standing room only. Those twice a year Christians were there in force. A beautiful Liturgy - one of my friends served as cantor- wonderful music! A very satisfying Easter!
