The other evening I had trouble sleeping. Too much caffeine that afternoon. A thought had been running through my mind about Jeremiah. Of course, being from that mid-Boomer generation, I remembered Three Dog Night. You know, "Jeremiah was a bull frog." Immediately I went to Google. Was there any theological connection? None whatsoever. Apparently Hoyt Axton came up with the words while drinking a beer and thinking about a song. The words were right off the top of his head.

Gentleness is not weakness. Gentleness is power under control. As one author said, it is "a response of strength, inspired by a relationship with Christ." But what of the last phrase in that verse?
