Thank you all for your comments, encouragement and kind words; I am feeling blessed in knowing you here on the Wibsite [as well as the great joy and blessing of having met some of you in person: and I pray one day I can meet you all].
Last night, I pulled out my copies of The Arena: An Offering to Contemporary Monasticism and The Ladder of Divine Ascent and read chapters on Anger and Humility in the former, and Step 8, On freedom from anger and on meekness, in the latter. Tough, but worthwhile and compassionate reads. I think I may be re-reading them for a few days to come.
Work has been okay today. Other issues have arisen today [things come in waves...] which are causing some stress, but I feel I have acted more professionally. Management, after an apology from me today, were very supportive and understanding, indiciating they know the pressures I have been under and are looking at steps to help. It is sad it may've taken a flair-up from me, rather than me explaining it in a professional manner, but what is done is done.
Thank you all again; and thanks and praise to God for His Patience, Care and Love. And for the blessing of salvation through Jesus Christ:
The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
1 Timothy 1:15 [ESV]
