Today at church, the sermon was about forgiveness and holding grudges. In the world in we live in today where there is much harm, lies, and fear, the notion of forgiving is very hard. But as in many things, mercy is a must.

Yes, there is temptation to villainize, but you know you can see evil done with your own eyes. What is going on right now is disheartening and sad and dangerous for many. I am in a place where I am trying to make sense of everything going on.

However, it will take lots of time, understanding, and grace for me to say it’s alright, don’t worry about it or something like that. I am a believer in God, but I am also human, and I have my feelings, and it’s OK. There is more to come and it will challenge all of us. Forgive when you feel it’s appropriate but try to forgive when you can.
