I'm not brave, just being honest with myself.  There are
things I can change and things I can't.  This is something I
can't change so I ask God's help and then leave it to Him.
It's the same as dealing with people.  You reach out, give
them the opportunity to do right.  Then you leave it to
them.

Thanks for that, man.

We get communication from the other side all the time, G.
It's called your conscience.  God speaks to us through it.
Sad to say I have not always listened, but I'm still
learning.

As I mentioned to Jim, I've lived life on my own terms.
Guess I'll die that way, too.

There's something I learned a long time ago that has become
all the more important now.  It's not being forgiven that
matters so much as forgiving.  In short, it doesn't matter
that Mark, Petem and a few others hate.  What matters is
that I forgive them and I do, regardless what they say and
regardless what they believe.  I've never hurt any of them.
If they choose to hate, that's on their heads.  I choose to
forgive.

Wouldn't it be funny if I was assigned to take care of Mark.
