I want to achieve this noble goal.<BR/><BR/>I knocked out a rough draft of <B>The Letter</B> last night and clarified my desire to forgive. I think I put it well there, "It is not my reflex, but it is my desire".<BR/><BR/>It's grace. I'm working on it.educathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927744738999545249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916906.post-1115606819796749682005-05-08T21:46:00.000-05:002005-05-08T21:46:00.000-05:00Wow.

As a cog in the wheel of said institution, I can say that the tides do turn rather quickly sometimes and it hurts worse because of the assumption of community that is repleat in all of the church-speak. No matter how much you reason through it, all that talk ends up making you pissed off. Churches could find easier ways to let people go but they don't, or many of them do not.<BR/><BR/>I know you don't need my encouragement, but craft the letter.
