                                            "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:31 Mark and I had the honor of visiting a local church last Sunday during the last of Mark's vacation time. The sermon was on forgiveness and centered on the above verse. It's a hard one. I am not one to hold a grudge, but as I listened the Holy Spirit tugged at my heart. I reflected on some recent nights where my thoughts were stewing and brewing. Beth Moore calls it nursing and rehearsing. As the pastor last Sunday put it, "If your'e telling people off in your daydreams, you probably have someone you need to forgive." "Herrrrrrrrrrrrre's your sign! " Ouch! At first, I denied that I might need to forgive someone. Iv'e been a Christian a long time so shouldn't I be above this?
