Thankfully the entire task is not left to us in the end.<br /><br />My thoughts on Sadam was knowing for a fact where he was going. He looked broken and scared - so I think he knew where he was going too. A person that terrified a nation of people, in my opinion at that final moment knew that it never paid off. I felt compassion becasue he had the opportunity to ask for forgiveness and I doubt he ever did and therefore, he paid for it in the end. <br /><br />I never fully understood God's love until I became a mother. At no point EVER will I ever not love my children. EVER. I say that with so much emphasis...EVER. Do they do things wrong, yes, will they mess up, yes, will they test my love, yes. However, they are a part of me (as we are of God) and therefore will always, no matter what, 100%, forever have my love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11224716.post-31411413801360125442010-05-27T00:47:25.593-04:002010-05-27T00:47:25.593-04:00I've known this about you for a long time, and...I've known this about you for a long time, and I'm super glad that you've learned it about yourself. I hope that it's not a short term realization, but a realm of thought you apply to your past, present, and future.McClure ELA 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/08900755087875240681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11224716.post-42793476560650075362010-05-18T23:34:20.317-04:002010-05-18T23:34:20.317-04:00Looks like something was bubbling up inside of you...Looks like something was bubbling up inside of you. It's funny - I've been having this fairness vs justice conversation recently as well. A lot of my professors are like Jeff - "fair" is a cuss in their house. <br /><br />Soooo - we gots to hang out eh?David McCunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331751581174335101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11224716.post-89323032794804221872010-05-15T01:34:51.038-04:002010-05-15T01:34:51.038-04:00Wow....I feel like I know a whole new side of you....Wow....I feel like I know a whole new side of you.

Man oh man do I miss you. <br /><br />Next time you come to town, we'll go out for Mexican and margaritas and you can check out the creepy mannequin in the store front for yourself.

You nailed it. What a beautiful, eloquent post. I struggle with the same thing - wanting retribution, wanting people who have hurt me to feel what I feel, wanting some sort of satisfaction when I've been wronged. But, like you said, that's not up to me. We can only go through life trying and failing and trying again to live in the likeness of God, knowing that His mercy--for all of us--is perfect and unfailing. Hugs, Bea. (ps - ending the post with that particular Sufjan song is perfection. Like gum.)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16514732602934490482noreply@blogger.com
