I realize that it works both ways, moreover. I feel enraged at George W. Bush about this torture bill he just signed, but I prayed for God to do His will in Bush's life. Revenge has no place in Christianity, and I have to remind myself that I may not be merciless even to the merciless. It is, perhaps, the hardest Christian rule to follow, but it is also one of the most important. Now prepare to see this thread bombarded by trolls (we've had a lot of them lately).
Very well spoken! Thanks for your insights. It is not easy to be a Christian, nor is it supposed to be I think. Jesus gave us the way to Heaven. It's not the easy things that make us grow, learn and change.

Thanks,
Teft
