Just Andy's Place...
Just what Andy believes, what Andy thinks, where Andy lives, who (and what) Andy loves, and who Andy IS!
...IT'S ALL ABOUT ME, DANGIT!!!
Someday I'd like to go to a service like that one Andy, not exactly a Rev. Wright / Chicago type service, but something a little more alive... I've been to church with Mr. Bean.
Marc, I've been in a few like that myself. Definitely not my cup of tea. I've also been in a few like Pastor "F word's" too. I prefer the later.
Buck, it is certainly the most difficult task incumbent on the Christian. I certainly struggle with it. Funny...I never used to struggle with it...always forgave instantly, and immediately.
I still have no problem forgiving those that have wronged me. It is instantaneous. But, when it comes to those that hurt with my wife, or kids. Well, let's just say I've got some further "maturing in Christ" that needs did.
This is the very subject that I first discussed with Buck upon our first meeting. Repentance is a large part of forgiveness. It is hard to have one without the other.

Pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful sentiment... in theory... but there are some things that just can NOT be forgiven.
