Waze of the Wise-Wisdom for Taming Our Temper (4 of 6)

Proverbs 19:11
We've gotten pretty good at expressing our emotions. In fact, in today's culture, if you want to convey your feelings, all you have to do is send someone an EMOJI, and they'll know exactly how you feel.
[Examples of Emojis-Happy, Sad, In-love, Laughing, Crazy (Travis), Cool, Sick, Angry...] That's an emoji that all of us can relate to...

Driving in traffic. [90% of drivers have experienced road rage]. Maybe you're the guy that rides the bumper, and flashes his lights and honks the horn when someone drives slowly in front of you...
Shopping. [1 in 3 shoppers admit to aggressive behavior while shopping]. My aggressive behavior tends to happen on the park bench outside the store while my wife is shopping. Anybody else?
Pets. People say pets are supposed to bring joy, but I feel like my pets tend ...
