Anger is a five letter word
A notable meditation from Lilian's Journey
Matthew 5 : 20 - 26

Anger is a five (sic) letter word describing an emotion that Christians often do not know how to deal with. We know that harboring anger is spiritually and emotionally and even physically (contributing to stomach ulcers for example) unhealthy. But what should we do?
