Apparently I forgot that yesterday was Thursday and was supposed to be Thankful Thursday. I almost forgot that this post was supposed to be Forgiveness Friday. I’ve been too busy rolling with the punches. Things have been . . . strange . . . around here lately. We haven’t been able to get back into […]
I’ve been thinking about forgiveness, as usual at this time of the week, and here are some conclusions I’ve come to. 1)Forgiving someone is a constant action. “To forgive” is a verb.

We’re called to turn the other cheek, to forgive unendingly–that’s what I think Jesus meant when he said to forgive seventy times seven times. I doubt […]
I find myself doing a lot of the same forgiving as last week. I guess that fits into the scripture where Jesus reminds us to forgive until seventy times seven (Matthew 18:22). Here’s my forgiveness for the week: *Forgave people for their shortcomings–laziness, idleness, slothfulness, idolatry, self-centered-ness, vanity, inability to see the truth as truth, […]
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. ~Lewis B.
