Could you do it? It's hard for me, but I think I could. What about you?

I agree with you. But it's difficult for me to do it. Only by God's grace.

This is real christianity. Jesus Christ himself was a man of paradoxes - give to get and love your enemies! It's the best practical approach to build a peaceful eorld.

When you hate-YOU pay! And the one who you perceive as an enemy gets license - from YOU - to take your heart and mind hostage!!! Try this: Take paper and pen: draw a line down the middle - Call one column "Plus" and the other "Minus". On another sheet, take inventory of your relationship from start to present, making notes on the +&- sheet.When you're When you're done, write me back. Grandy3
