Angry at Others, Angry at God, Angry at Yourself

Some think it wrong to be angry, especially at God! But as I often tell directees, if you're angry at God, at least God knows you're paying attention to your relationship! There's a lot to be learned from our anger. In the last two days, I've read two wonderful reflections on the good and bad sides of anger, please have a look:

From Kalanna at Mere Catholics: "It's sort of a new feeling for me. Have you ever admitted to being angry with God? Six months ago, I would have never even thought it possible, much less admitted it . . ."

and Penni at Martha, Martha: "you know i will be the first to admit when i have acted like, for lack of a better term, an asshole. i am here to tell you i behaved thusly today."

Thanks to both ladies for some nice, honest Lenten reflections!
