Also, I'm glad you were able to sense how both intimate and far-reaching the problem is, from petty judgments of friends to harsh judgments of classism and racism. It's all included.Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-10219788796138813082011-09-30T00:58:03.450-07:002011-09-30T00:58:03.450-07:00A penitential psalm for modern times, simple witho...A penitential psalm for modern times, simple without being simplistic, and it scans well !<br /><br />I hope it finds a home to a wider public for its spiritual insight because, try as hard as one can, the sin of prejudice and the gift of forgiveness will always remain a big part of spiritual life.Kevin Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482886706239506749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-83862826759471074952011-09-29T21:25:36.727-07:002011-09-29T21:25:36.727-07:00Thanks be to God, indeed!

And one more: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be satisfied."Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-60079586241820931262011-09-29T10:34:04.232-07:002011-09-29T10:34:04.232-07:00The older I get (and you are not as old as I. lol)...The older I get (and you are not as old as I. lol) the more I distrust my judgement. I kick myself often for past thoughts and words (sometimes just 5 minutes prior). The only assurance I have at all, in all of life, is not my own thinking...but that I remain in the hands of God. He holds me safe...in spite of my sin. Thanks be to God.<br /><br />Your post is beautiful in its pain and openness.
