Helen's Nasty Temper
 We finished reading Helen's Temper on the HSB Literary Club. I didn't finish it yet, but Amanda and Christina did. So did Eyebright. I am still plugging along on chapter 4.
I would like to thank Amanda and Christina for leading the entire discussion of Helen's Temper for the past month. Just being into chapter 4, I cannot believe how horribly mean Helen is. I mean, seriously. I am astonished. At first, I could not understand why Helen's mother is oblivious to Helen's temper, but then I had to think about the fact that she does seem to suspect something and seems distressed over it.
I do know how it is to see one of our children acting out in a sinful manner and not be able to control it. Sometimes, not even knowing how to address it. In Helen's Temper, Helen has fooled many. She and her prideful, snippy friends are just manipulative bullies who have not yet been caught. We all know children like this. We know Christians who behave this way, boys and girls... men and women. We have probably acted this way in some manner at some time in our lives. The question is, did we mature? The question about Helen is, "Is she really spiritually mature?".
On the outside, she appears spiritually mature, but on the inside, she is hateful, vengeful and downright nasty. Off to read the rest of the book.... I hope she matures.
You can read the discussion of Helen's Temper by Mrs. George Gladstone at the HSB Literary Club.
We will be announcing the next book soon. I hope you will consider joining us!
blessings!
