Mark's Views, Perhaps — from behind my eyeballs
It is very sobering indeed to consider that if I do not forgive a person who is mean to me and then sincerely apologizes seven times a day—and if this is my usual spiritually sloppy and self-satisfied habit—then it would be better for me if a millstone were hung around my neck and I were cast into the sea.
Do read the rest of Andrée Seu’s piece over at World magazine: New thoughts on not offending.

He brought me up . . . out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. —You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee.

To the only One who sees all:
Thank you, Lord, for being right. All the time. And for being good. All the time. Even when I simply don’t see it. Nor understand it. Like now. To that I yield. And to You.
