Kookork, I appreciated your comments! You should be a diplomat, or a judge, or an umpire, or a negotiator, or a parent, or something.
Every now and then I get provoked about something said or done to me. I can choose to cross the fence, get in the mud, and wrestle the pig (NOT calling ANYone a pig!) or I can remember that I'm not a pig, and just go on. Now if that pig is running loose and trampling my flowerbed, I'm going to wrestle that pig!
It's instructive to me to consider how little Jesus defended himself. Wow!
