It's Tuesday, time for David Waldman to freestyle the Tuesday Freestyle KITM! Anyway: Donald K. Trump is an idiot, but he is also the President and shouldn't use his stupidity to avoid responsibility. Nevertheless, Trump is incredibly irresponsible, very dumb, and quite likely to behave that way. Linda McMahon makes Donald Trump look like Atticus Finch. McMahon is such a dunce that the Education Department would rather go anonymous than quote the boss's letter directly. Trump demands that the DOJ spring Tina Peters from the Colorado state pen. Trump will be announcing something in the next two weeks, but it probably won't be Ed Martin's confirmation to attorney for Washington, DC. There exist morons too demented for this administration. Non-morons, however, are welcome, such as the folks at Palantir, who'll do anything for a buck, and who made 300 billion of those this year. Meanwhile, what's left of US intelligence has determined that Venezuela is not in a forever war with us, and that we don't need to forever imprison them in El Salvador. Trump fully understands and will send them to Rwanda instead.
Harper Lee didn't betray Atticus Finch — she revealed the hard truth we didn't want to face. In this episode, we break the silence around Go Set a Watchman and reclaim the wisdom the world tried to cancel. Real justice demands hard truths, not empty slogans. Atticus knew it. We ignored it. Now we live with the consequences. Are you brave enough to hear the real message? "You can't fix the foundation by repainting the wall" "We traded hard truth for easy lies — and called it progress."
Host Amanda McNulty explores the significance of literary character Atticus Finch saying, 'It's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'

Enam is a University of Buffalo School of Law graduate and currently works as a Legal and Technology Consultant at LawBeta. Enam's story and journey are the epitome of being guided by a unique journey. From Big Law and Wall Street employee for 15 years, to pursuing his passion, in legal technology, a riveting story and one of our longest episodes to date! Enam and I start before his entry into Buffalo School of Law. Inspired by Atticus Finch to go to Law School after reading To Kill a Mocking Bird in 3rd grade, in pursuit of standing up for people and gaining justice. We then moved to Enam's first year of Law School, which he loved and was a time to restart again. It was a lot of work, but it was full of meeting new people and an unbelievably valuable change of scenery. We then moved to Enam's post-graduation experiences, keying in on what he wanted to do with the Law and especially what he did not want to do with the Law in terms of specialization. After this, we spoke about his time in Big Law and working on Wall Street. When first starting, Enam described it as a steep learning curve, but it felt right because it was new and interesting. After the new feeling wore off, Enam would move firms and finally end up at Moody's. He would delve into each experience and what caused each change. After 7 years at Moody, and with the advent of Covid, Enam decided that he needed something new and would move to California. But, Enam would enter into a period of darkness, with his career in the unknown and not wanting to return to Law. Then, out of nowhere, when deciding to go to a conference, he would meet a random person who he still speaks to today, who, after looking over his LinkedIn, told him he was an extremely impressive professional. This story would be, for me, one of the rawest and most emotional segments in this podcast's history, as this one moment, would be a piece of immense inspiration, and lead him to follow his passion. We then came to today, where Enam is a Legal and Technology consultant at LawBeta, consultants at the vibrant intersection of Law and Technology. Enam would speak about his experience thus far, and just how amazing it has been. Finally, Enam gave his technology recommendations, from what kind of LLMs he uses, and the devices he has, and even a shoutout to one of the sponsors of this podcast, Rhetoric. As well, as some spectacular book and podcast recommendations. Enam's journey, not only is one of our longest episodes and one that is full of a wide range of emotions, and amazing career advice from a veteran of the industry.

Picture this: family evenings filled with laughter and discovery as everyone gathers around to read aloud for just 10 minutes a day. That's the heart of the Read Aloud Challenge, a simple yet profound practice that we believe can transform family dynamics and boost literacy for both kids and adults. We've seen how family reading time has dwindled over the years, yet it's a tradition the homeschooling community has fiercely preserved. Through this episode, we offer insights into how past generations, with practices like Bible reading, achieved higher literacy rates, and how you can revive that enriching culture in your home and your homeschooling life. Leading by example is a recurring theme as we explore how our passion for books has shaped our children into lifelong learners. From my own journey into the transformative world of literature, inspired by works of psychology and behavioral economics, to cherished family memories and the silent influence of role models like my grandfather, we delve into stories of personal growth and learning. Through anecdotes and impactful lessons from fictional narratives, such as those embodied by Atticus Finch, we highlight the power of reading to inspire and uplift.

Amanda is a 3L at the University of Baltimore and currently works as a Law Clerk at Selzer Gurvitch. From dropping out of High School to a current third year Law Student, Amanda offers a journey that is uniquely hers, and illustrious from start to finish. Amanda and I started a full decade before going to Law School. Amanda always wanted to be a Lawyer but life threw some curveballs her way that had to put off that dream for some time. After an ankle injury in high school, Amanda dropped out of high school, later receiving her GED. She went on to work at American Airlines throughout her 20s and eventually began at Community College. She would do so well at Community College, to then be offered an opportunity to go to Harvard extension school, gaining a plethora of knowledge, and a great foundation for Law School. After the Covid Pandemic, hundreds of airline employees, later including her husband, were laid off, Amanda realized that her time in the airline industry was never certain, and needed something to fall back on. Inspired early in life by Atticus Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird, Amanda would embark on her Law School journey, at the University of Baltimore School of Law. Amanda would speak on her first year, which was full of struggle, not only dealing with law school, but the loss of her husband's job, her mother being diagnosed with Breast Cancer, as well as being a mother herself. Amanda would learn a great lesson in perseverance, learning how important it was to have such a strong support system around her and to ask for help when she needed it. Amanda would finish the year strong, and go on to hold clerkship and internships in multiple different domains. Amanda's advice to everyone? Imagine what life would be if you quit. This question would drive her to continue her success in Law School and secure her place at a job post-law school. Amanda's journey is a testament to her strong character, and courage to chase her dreams, despite some obstacles. Be sure to check out Amanda, as she is one you don't want to miss out on!

Guest Christina Hough dives into the topic of neurodivergence in the legal field. The subject refers to how people learn and behave. We're all “neurodivergent” in that we are all different. The term covers everything from the autism spectrum to ADHD issues to our own individual quirks and how we interact, learn, and understand each other. When it comes to neurodivergence, the legal system has a particular interest. It has been estimated about 12.5% of lawyers report having ADHD, attention deficit disorders, nearly triple the rate of the general population. And that's just the beginning. Law is a stressful profession, and many may not know they have a neurodivergence issue – issues that may only reveal themselves under extreme stress. That's why awareness is so important as we learn to account for our own differences and others' and make sure we are communicating with and understanding coworkers and even opposing counsel and witnesses. It all starts with being aware and giving thought to how the person across the desk processes information and communicates. As the great (fictional) attorney Atticus Finch taught us in “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” Mentioned in This Episode: San Diego Paralegal Association “Lawyers With ADHD: Understanding Neurodiversity in the Legal Profession,” JD Nation “Neurodivergence in Law: The Importance of Advanced Communication in Legal and Neutral Practice” from Will Work for Food with Christina Hough Christina Hough's Presentation “To Kill a Mockingbird Quote Analysis,” Bartleby NALA Conference & Expo 2025 NALA, The Paralegal Association Learn more about your ad choices.

fWotD Episode 2715: To Kill a Mockingbird Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 10 October 2024 is To Kill a Mockingbird.To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel by the American author Harper Lee. It was published in July 1960 and became instantly successful. In the United States, it is widely read in high schools and middle schools. To Kill a Mockingbird has become a classic of modern American literature; a year after its release, it won the Pulitzer Prize. The plot and characters are loosely based on Lee's observations of her family, her neighbors and an event that occurred near her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was ten.Despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality, the novel is renowned for its warmth and humor. Atticus Finch, the narrator's father, has served as a moral hero for many readers and as a model of integrity for lawyers. The historian Joseph Crespino explains, "In the twentieth century, To Kill a Mockingbird is probably the most widely read book dealing with race in America, and its main character, Atticus Finch, the most enduring fictional image of racial heroism." As a Southern Gothic novel and Bildungsroman, the primary themes of To Kill a Mockingbird involve racial injustice and the destruction of innocence. Scholars have noted that Lee also addresses issues of class, courage, compassion, and gender roles in the Deep South. Lessons from the book emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice. Despite its themes, To Kill a Mockingbird has been subject to campaigns for removal from public classrooms, often challenged for its use of racial epithets. In 2006, British librarians ranked the book ahead of the Bible as one "every adult should read before they die".Reaction to the novel varied widely upon publication. Despite the number of copies sold and its widespread use in education, literary analysis of it is sparse. Author Mary McDonough Murphy, who collected individual impressions of To Kill a Mockingbird by several authors and public figures, calls the book "an astonishing phenomenon". It was adapted into an Academy Award-winning film in 1962 by director Robert Mulligan, with a screenplay by Horton Foote. Since 1990, a play based on the novel has been performed annually in Harper Lee's hometown.To Kill a Mockingbird was Lee's only published book until Go Set a Watchman, an earlier draft of To Kill a Mockingbird, was published on July 14, 2015. Lee continued to respond to her work's impact until her death in February 2016, although she had refused any personal publicity for herself or the novel since 1964.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:23 UTC on Thursday, 10 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see To Kill a Mockingbird on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joey.
There's a wonderful scene in the classic film to kill a Mockingbird, when the attorney Atticus Finch is confronted by the father of a girl who has accused a black man of rape. The father, enraged, walks up to Finch—played perfectly by Gregory Peck. He spits in Finch's face as the attorney's children watch. You can see the anger in Finch's face, but he slowly and calmly maintains his composure. He simply walks past the man, who now looks pretty small in everyone's eyes. God has given us the power over difficult people. It's called not letting them set the rules. 1 Peter 3:9 says, “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing because to this you were called, so that you may inherit a blessing.” Not always easy, definitely, but we're capable of it. Remember that. This life is very much about winning and losing. Determine that a difficult person in your life is not going to win by controlling you and getting under your skin. In wrestling terms, don't let that person pin you. Is that obnoxious person in your life really all that obnoxious, or are you a grouch, letting yourself get caught in what is really only a difference in personalities? Go home from work one evening and think about that. Make your mind up to start out the next day by being nice to that person. You'll be surprised how that can change the equation. And that's what Colossians 4:6 is talking about when it says, “Let your speech be always with grace seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.” Or maybe you're a man frustrated with the relationship between your wife and your mother. This is always a potentially difficult situation. Maybe you think your wife should be more adaptable, but have you forgotten what God told the man in Genesis 2:24? It says, “This is why a man leaves his father and mother, and is united to his wife. And they become one flesh.” Your responsibility in that situation is to your wife, not to making sure your parents' feelings come first in all situations. So you see, often that difficult person you're dealing with is you, or at the very least a different perspective will help you see where the fault really lies. Finally, in First Corinthians 5, we read that Paul advises for really difficult people, a cooling off period is legitimate. For example, the person who is causing real strife in a church should not be allowed to go on like that indefinitely; bad behavior sometimes must be confronted for the good of the community. And even for the good of the offended person, this is sound advice. So if we stick to what the Lord has already told us, and our tried and true methods for dealing with difficult people, we can get to a better place. Let's pray.Father God, a person who is angry or a troublemaker creates chaos for everyone. Help us analyze each of these situations as unique so that we know how to handle them from Your Word. And most especially, help us make it a habit to pray for those who are difficult, so that we might see their lives changed, and brought into harmony and unity. In Jesus' name, amen.

Book Vs. Movie: To Kill a MockingbirdThe 1960 Novel Vs. the 1962 MovieThe 1962 film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird, directed by Robert Mulligan, is a powerful retelling of Harper Lee's classic novel. The story follows Atticus Finch, played by Gregory Peck in an Oscar-winning performance, as he defends Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), a Black man falsely accused of raping a white woman in 1930s Alabama.The film is seen through the eyes of Atticus's young daughter, Scout (Mary Badham), and her brother Jem (Phillip Alford), who grapple with the harsh realities of racism and injustice in their small town. Key characters include Dill Harris (John Megna), Scout and Jem's imaginative friend, and Boo Radley (Robert Duvall), the mysterious neighbor who ultimately reveals his true character. The movie focuses on the moral courage of Atticus and the loss of innocence experienced by the children, capturing the essence of the novel's themes in a more streamlined narrative.Which version did we (the Margos) prefer?

Classic Films, Classic Crucible Lessons VI: To Kill a Mockingbird One person doing the right thing. That sums up succinctly TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, the movie we discuss this week on the sixth episode of our summer series, CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCIBLE LESSONS. The person who keeps doing the right thing in this movie the American Film Institute ranked at number 25 on its Top 100 list is Atticus Finch. He's a kind, compassionate lawyer and honest, dedicated father who refuses to bend to the racial prejudices of his time and place – 1930s Alabama. In defending his client, a wrongly accused black man, he models for his children, Jem and Scout, what character that doesn't see color looks like. As one of his neighbors tells the children at the tragic conclusion of the trial, “Some men in this world are born to do our unpleasant jobs for us ... your father is one of them.” That would have been an agonizing crucible for many men of the era, but for Atticus Finch it was a role he fulfilled with honor and humility that can teach us a lot about weathering our own crucible experiences.

On the September 18, 2024 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we meet Mary Badham. She had no acting experience before she auditioned for the role of the intelligent and unconventional girl Jean Louise Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. Better known by the nickname Scout, the character is the daughter of Alabama lawyer, Atticus Finch, played by Gregory Peck in the classic film. Mary Badham, at just ten years of age, became the youngest actress to that date to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress. At age fourteen, after appearing in several other films and television show, including the final episode of the original Twilight Zone series, she retired from acting at age fourteen. She stayed close with Gregory Peck, who she always called Atticus, until his death in 2003. To Kill a Mockingbird has never completely left her life, however, Mary has traveled around the world recalling her experiences making the classic film, and praising the book's messages of tolerance and compassion, and now, in her debut as a stage actor, she plays, quote “the meanest old woman who ever lived,” Mrs. Dubose in the national touring production of Aaron Sorkin's stage adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird, which features Richard Thomas in the role of Atticus Finch and is now playing at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre in Toronto. Check mirvish.com for more details. Then, Christian Sparkes, a film director and screenwriter from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. His new movie, “The King Tide,” is set in an isolated, struggling community, ten years after a child with miraculous gifts washed up on the beach. She is able to heal people, but after a decade of prosperity, her adoptive parents are forced to decide whether her safety is more important than their community's prosperity

Denise speaks with actor, musician, and playwright Jeff Daniels to discuss his long and thriving film career and upcoming projects. Careers in showbusiness rarely last, but Daniels, a native Michigander, who chose to live in Chelsea, MI rather than Hollywood, has enjoyed incredible longevity in his career. The key was creating a wide range in his acting, spanning from Dumb & Dumber to Ghettysberg, and “not settling for good...it's a close cousin to good enough”. They touch on his philosophy and sense of humor. He reminds us that it feels good to laugh, so forget about being important and self righteous - laughter is one thing that unites us in our polarized world. Listen for valuable advice on dealing with rejection, outworking the competition, and just believing in yourself. Jeff Daniels is an actor, playwright, musician and songwriter. Alongside his extensive screen work, Jeff has many stage credits to his name, including starring as Atticus Finch on Broadway. He is the Founder and Artistic Director of The Purple Rose Theater Company in Chelsea, Michigan. He is an Emmy winner for Newsroom and Godlless, and a Three-time Tony Nominee. Currently, he has two tv series coming out, American Rust on Prime Video and A Man In Full, which airs on Netflix on May 2nd. Denise Ilitch, an owner of Ilitch Family Companies and President of Ilitch Enterprises, has been a part of Detroit's business and philanthropic community for over 40 years. As a mother, lawyer, entrepreneur, devoted community servant and tireless advocate for women and children, she learned early, from her father, that everyone is worthy of contributing to the world. Her passion for affordable, accessible, quality education stems from her own experience as a first-generation student, earning a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan, where she currently serves on the Board of Regents, and a law degree from the University of Detroit Law School.

Actor Jeff Daniels is always writing. Plays, songs, a script or two. Even in interviews you get the sense the Michigan native is trying to relay the stories of his life in a way he'd find compelling as a reader, or listener. Bystander — as a viewer. He joins us this week around the latest chapter of his crime series American Rust (12:30), reprising his role as Police Chief Del Harris. It's a performance inspired by his midwestern upbringing in Chelsea, Michigan (16:06) and the formative teachings of theater director Marshall W. Mason (21:20). Then, Daniels reflects on his arrival to New York City in 1976 (24:06), performing in Lanford Wilson's play Fifth of July (27:20), and his early on-screen roles in Jonathan Demme's Something Wild (31:10), Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo (34:20), and Noah Baumbach's The Squid and the Whale (44:20). On the back-half, we walk through his years making The Newsroom (51:48), working with screenwriter (and then playwright) Aaron Sorkin (53:20), and how the two of them reimagined Atticus Finch and To Kill a Mockingbird for both Broadway (59:49) and what he calls “a country at a crossroads” (1:05:33). To close, we sit with the utility of good writing in this fraught era (1:10:30), and a musical tribute to his late father, Robert (1:15:32).

We return to our series profiling leading litigators and business builders with guest Paula Hinton, a litigation partner and executive committee member with international firm Winston & Strawn. She's held numerous leadership positions, is recognized across the profession, and handles a variety of complex cases. And she did it her way. “It starts with taking people out to breakfast!” Growing up the daughter of a respected small-town attorney in Alabama, Hinton jokes that she was “Scout” to a real-life Atticus Finch of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Hinton learned at a young age the trust clients place in their attorneys and the duty attorneys have to serve clients and the community, in and out of the courthouse. Hinton's path took her from a small town to big city firms with international clients. Entering an area of the law that at the time featured few women, Hinton made her own way, walking into senior attorneys' offices and volunteering for the toughest cases. In an era before the phrase “work/life balance,” she learned to manage the demands of high stakes law in balance with her personal life. Throughout, Hinton strove to raise her profile, develop a strong reputation, and build and sustain business relationships through involvement in nonprofit and association work and by making herself available to senior firm members for complex cases. “Don't wait for them to find you, you go find them,” she says. Hear first-hand Hinton's tips for building a high-profile career in litigation, leveraging both corporate and American Bar Association relationships, and building on each previous step.

Grace Elizabeth Hale grew up hearing that the real-life heroism of her grandfather mirrored the fictional courageous confrontation of Atticus Finch, the hero of "To Kill A Mockingbird." While she had been told her grandfather, a county sheriff in Mississippi had protected a Black man from a lynch mob, who then died in his custody the following day trying to escape — the facts showed a different story. "I knew the story that I had been told... but it just made it clear that none of it was true, that this was a big cover up," Hale told Under the Radar. During her research as a historian and scholar, Hale uncovered the shocking details of one lynching that exposed the truth of her family lore. In fact, Hale's home state of Mississippi holds the record for the most lynchings in the country. “In the Pines: A Lynching, A Lie, A Reckoning” documents Hale's family history, and the bloody vigilante tradition embedded in the nation's history. GUEST Grace Elizabeth Hale, professor of American Studies and History at the University of Virginia and author of "In the Pines: A Lynching, A Lie, A Reckoning"

Can a film do everything wrong yet still find its defenders, who not only acknowledge each of the film's faults but find these faults endearing? Such is the case with Mike and The Omen, the 1976 Richard Donner blockbuster that—like Satan himself—has spawned sequels, remakes, and imitations. Dan tries to point out all the things that are bad about The Omen, but Mike spins each one into a perverse mark of greatness and claims that the film somehow rises above them in its high seriousness. Whether you think The Omen a terrifying morality tale or simply The Devil and Atticus Finch, give it a listen. We'll tell you where to find the birthmark.

Neal Huff has had a remarkable career including multiple Broadway and off-Broadway shows, and numerous roles in film and television. His training journey has been equally remarkable. He seems to have had an instinct for searching out just the right teachers and institutions at just the right time - he describes them as stones in a river placed before him that allowed him to take the next important step in his journey. He has most recently been working on Broadway in the acclaimed production of To Kill a Mockingbird, in which he originated the role of the town drunk, Link Deas, alongside Jeff Daniels as Atticus Finch. After a record-smashing year, Neal switched roles to play Bob Ewell opposite Ed Harris as Atticus. Just before Mockingbird, Neal played the dissolute lawyer Willy Oban in George C. Wolfe's hit production of The Iceman Cometh starring Denzel Washington. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/storyofacting/message
The message was delivered on Sunday, October 1, 2023, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION People who love the book “To Kill a Mocking Bird” are often shocked and disoriented if they read Harper Lee's second book, “Go Set a Watchman,” when they discover that Atticus Finch ends up a member of the Ku Klux Klan. We don't expect that one of the most noble heroes of American literature has a shadow side. Even more surprising is when they finish the second book and they still like Atticus despite his imperfections. We live in a time of “cancel culture.” Increasingly it seems people assume there is a purity or perfection that people must attain. Today one misstatement or misdeed or old photograph can cause a person to lose their job or get kicked off social media. We want our heroes to be flawless and increasingly we expect that in each other. Yet, people are complex and multidimensional and have the ability to evolve and change. The first week of October is Banned Books Week in America, and Harper Lee's books are being banned across the country. However, I believe that together, they offer us an important lesson in being human. Atticus' daughter Scout and son Jem came of age in “To Kill a Mockingbird,” and perhaps the rest of us have a chance to come of age, in a way, from her second book. In accepting other people's imperfections, we may be able to begin to accept our own. Or perhaps it's the other way around. “Let the one without sin among you, cast the first stone…” John 8:7 SUBSCRIBE TO AUDIO PODCAST: WATCH THIS MESSAGE ON YOUTUBE: SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: GIVE A DONATION TO HELP US SPREAD THIS LOVE BEYOND BELIEF: or text LOVEBB to 73256 LET'S CONNECT: Facebook: Instagram: All Souls Church Website:
Today, we continue our series on healthy relationships, and we're talking about managing difficult relationships. There's a wonderful scene in the classic film to kill a Mockingbird, when the attorney Atticus Finch is confronted by the father of a girl who has accused a black man of rape. The father, enraged, walks up to Finch—played perfectly by Gregory Peck. He spits in Finch's face as the attorneys' children watch. You can see the anger in Finch's face, but he slowly and calmly maintains his composure. He simply walks past the man, who now looks pretty small and everyone's eyes. God has given us the power over difficult people. It's called not letting them set the rules. 1 Peter 3:9 says, “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing because to this you were called, so that you may inherit a blessing.” Not always easy, definitely, but we're capable of it. Remember that. This life is very much about winning and losing. Determine that a difficult person in your life is not going to win by controlling you and getting under your skin. In wrestling terms, don't let that person pin you. Is that obnoxious person in your life really all that obnoxious, or are you a grouch, letting yourself get caught in what is really only a difference in personalities? Go home from work one evening and think about that. Make your mind up to start out the next day by being nice to that person. You'll be surprised how that can change the equation. And that's what Colossians 4:6 is talking about when it says, “Let your speech be always with grace seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.” Or maybe you're a man frustrated with the relationship between your wife and your mother. This is always a potentially difficult situation. Maybe you think your wife should be more adaptable, but have you forgotten what God told the man in Genesis 2:24? It says, “This is why a man leaves his father and mother, and is united to his wife. And they become one flesh.” Your responsibility in that situation is to your wife, not to making sure your parents' feelings come first in all situations. So you see, often that difficult person you're dealing with is you, or at the very least a different perspective will help you see where the fault really lies. Finally, in 1 Corinthians 5, we read that Paul advises for really difficult people, a cooling off period is legitimate. For example, the person who is causing real strife in a church should not be allowed to go on like that indefinitely; bad behavior sometimes must be confronted for the good of the community. And even for the good of the offended person, this is sound advice. So if we stick to what the Lord has already told us, and our tried and true methods for dealing with difficult people, we can get to a better place. Let's pray. Father God, a person who is angry or troublemaker creates chaos for everyone. Help us analyze each of these situations as unique so that we know how to handle them from Your Word. And most especially help us make it a habit to pray for those who are difficult, so that we might see their lives changed, and brought into harmony and unity. In Jesus' name. Amen.
