It's been awhile since I posted a PDL entry in the morning. It takes a real determination to keep that thing going first thing in. If I'm trying to get a jump start on writing something, I'll jump on that, then answer emails (+ wade through 200+ spam junk), return calls or see to pressing matters that come in during the day, and wham! It's over.
Chapter 20 is a good one: restoring broken relationships. Wow. Peacemaking is a rough and tough job. It's cool that the author points out that peacemaking is not avoiding conflict.
"...sometimes we need to avoid conflict, sometimes we need to create it, and sometimes we need to resolve it. That's why we must pray for the Holy Spirit's continual guidance."
Oh, amen!
I love the balance offered. "Reconciliation means you bury the hatchet, not necessarily the issue." Sometimes it's best to agree to disagree. I love the phrase, "God expects unity, not uniformity..."
Good stuff.
A robot or program has been launched by someone that searches out blogs and comment fields and adds silly and offensive names or subject headings. Whenever I spot these, I delete them and close up the comment possibility on that document. If you ever notice this, I apologize, but that's why/how it happens and that's my typical response.
Now, if I could just find out who's sending out these robots, I could put this chapter to use!
