The holidays. Just the thought brings up a lot of feelings and emotions. As I write this post, I'm thinking about the person and people who are getting ready for today's family gathering. You know, the big family Thanksgiving feast that offers [...]
Anger and Forgiveness Anger and Forgiveness.... How can we forgive people who’ve done horrible things? Our judgment on the act is a reaction of anger. Can forgiveness and justice co-exist?
