I Lost My Cool

I usually have a fairly even temperament, but one day this week I lost my cool. It was a long and very frustrating day. Every task seemed to take more time than it should and every question sounded like fingernails on a chalkboard. There was a deadline to deal with and a flurry of questions that I had no time to answer.

Then it happened. Someone sent some incorrect information to a student. It sent me over the edge and I said something I shouldn't have. The person who heard me doubled over in a fit of laughter. It took less than a minute for the entire office to gather around to be filled in on all of the details. I was slightly embarrassed, but still angry about the situation. However, the laughter from my office mates did more to relieve my tension than anything else.

I Johm 1:8-9 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Yes, I really am human and I can lose my cool. Thankfully, He is faithful.  Always.
