Sadly, he did not. I will weigh, through the week, doing so next Sunday when I preach again. <br /><br />I think one of the things that is hardest is that there is no sense to be found in such actions. I find it more appalling that those who contribute to the rhetoric that leads to such events refuse to acknowledge their part in it. How freeing it would be for them to own their behavior, their "bullseyes," their words of hate and ridicule, and how reconciling it would be for all of us to hear those words of confession spoken.altar egohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564052536173244610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-20699511834858493962011-01-09T15:39:45.132-05:002011-01-09T15:39:45.132-05:00Powerful, Terri.

You remind me clearly to call evil sin and to acknowledge my part in it.<br /><br />And perhaps Johns message to repent today is particularly to the point.Gayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382575146394739428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-17390957011804351182011-01-09T14:53:01.627-05:002011-01-09T14:53:01.627-05:00Thank you for helping to make sense out of the sen...Thank you for helping to make sense out of the senseless. I too struggled with what to feel about this tragedy. I actually found great comfort in the readings for the Baptism of our Lord. Your words touched me very much Terri. Perhaps my words will be of similar help to someone. WE can only try. Blessings.Sherry Peytonhttp://afeatheradrift.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
