What a wonderful reminder to be an understanding helper to those who frustrate or anger us - even those who write provocative editorial comments! Thank you, Gary. Happy Easter season!

Well said, Lisa. I should qualify that I am very often hijacked by my smaller self and do not respond to situations as I hoped I might. Like Paul, I can often say, “I know what I should do, but I do not do the thing I want to do. Instead, the thing I do not want to do is what I do.” I guess that’s why I’m both a bit embarrassed and deeply grateful that God seems to be so relentlessly forgiving!

Thank you, Gary, for such an honest and hopeful Easter Monday message. I would hate for anyone to remember my worst day as sinner more than any day of quasi-saint, and so I'm grateful that Jesus includes me in "all". Oh, to be more like Jesus, Rafa and Tuck--such great role models!
