Feeling Blue

"Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,"
--Ephesians 4:26

Well, this was a hard principle to follow last night, after watching my beloved Carolina Tar Heels fumble away the basketball in the waning moments of a 71-70 loss to arch-rival Dook at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

After fighting their way back in the second half, the Tar Heels had a chance for a potential game-winning final shot with 18 seconds to play. Instead, Carolina failed to get off a shot after point guard Raymond Felton picked up his dribble at the top the key and tried to pass while under pressure to David Noel on the right sideline. Carolina's fleeting hopes for a victory rolled out of bounds with the basketball as the final seconds ticked off he clock.

I definitely went to bed angry. Whether I sinned or not, that's another matter. Hopefully, with some repentance and a 7.5-mile run this morning, I've now been cleansed.
