Forgiveness 0

An interesting post on forgiveness over at Straight, Not Narrow. Among other things, the poster said

The people who don’t know Jesus completely get a “glazed over” look when you talk about forgiveness. They act like you’re crazy to forgive someone for hurting you so badly. They want you to punch the person or slash their tires or something. Heard any good Carrie Underwood songs lately? Actually, if you’ve heard any amount of Country/Western songs, they seem to have a high proportion of revenge songs!

I think there is a piece missing: Many of the persons who claim to know Jesus also

get a “glazed over” look when you talk about forgiveness.

They say the words, but they do not act the acts.

I am so tired of those who practice hate in the name of the love.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
