Just when I was getting deep into a project, the phone would ring. When
that phone rings, I am rather frustrated. I don't mind people calling 
me who want to talk about some things. I just don't want these 
Robocalls, calling me with stuff I don't need. 

As the week developed, I got more frustrated and more frustrated. What's
a person to do when there's not anything you can do about these phone 
calls? 

Of course, by Thursday I did get an actual person that was calling me
live. I was so frustrated that I didn't know exactly how to deal with 
this person. Do I pour all my frustration on that person? 

Then I had a thought tiptoe through the little gray cells in my cranium.
That thought was, why don't I respond to this person in gibberish. If 
anybody is good at gibberish, it's a pastor. I've been a pastor for so 
long that I should have some kind of a PhD in gibberish. 

A few moments talking gibberish to this person on the phone released me
of all my frustration for the week. Now the person on the other end of 
the phone was getting frustrated. 

“Please speak English,” the person kept saying. 

It was one of those weeks that was most frustrating, but then I learned
to take that frustration and spin it into gibberish. 

I was thinking of what Solomon once said. “It is as sport to a fool to
do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom” (Proverbs 10:23). 

My desire is not to let the words of fools frustrate me, but to nourish
my mind and soul on the wisdom of God.
