Hockey anger

I sometimes wonder why tempers flair when you are in the middle of a game well maybe i should start at the beginning. I play Friday night hockey with a church group that started as a ministry out reach and for church members to get to gather and play Canada's greatest game Hockey, i have been playing for 9 years now and we stop at half time for a word of wisdom after all not all the players are followers of Christ and that is the ultimate goal. well Friday night was our regular time we played our game and found out at the end that we had the opportunity to play a double header on the weekend against a norther team the first game went OK we lost and we needed to work on our lines for the second game the other team started to use slap shots and hitting a little as we tried to carry on with the game as we were still loosing as i sat on the bench and watched the goalie from the other team sweeping at the feet of one of our players he stretched forth his hand and pushed the goalie away from him one of the other players performed an axe like swing across his back well tempers rose and words were said, the coach from the other team came over and started to talk to the individual and proceeded to grab him well that just made matters worse and i cant help but feel bad for my fellow player. so i ask you this question why do we let our feelings take over our rational thoughts why cant we have more control over our mouth's why do we speak before we think i wonder why we as a generation have so much anger in side that we let it escape in the most unprofessional way i think that we need to confess our sins to God and ask for forgiveness bottled emotions have a way of exploding when we least expect it and the verbal ones hurt more than the fisacil because the verbal scars the heart and is not seen by the human eye but the fisical every ones see and it heals in a short period of time. i hope that you think about this the next time you find your self in a similar situation until next time.Freedom Fridays
