Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Dear Son, we talked about hate and war last night.
About the Family that forgave the heinous murders at the Church.
A 14-year old doesn’t (and may never) understand that forgiveness is the only way to make a stand that frees the “victims” from bitterness and despair.

Stunned by what’s happening in Charleston. Saw a video yesterday of Family members forgiving the killer of their loved ones. The thief was on camera, listening to the voices of the Family.
It’s a modern day example of Jesus.
Jesus would say, forgive.
Today’s race is quietly dedicated to more extraordinary love like Charleston is offering the killer world.

The starting line for forgiveness is obvious.
Or at least it should be.
Is it obvious for you?
Seriously, is it 100% of the time?
Would it change you if it was?
Would it change others?
Obviously, it starts out as an inside job.
And remains an inside job until we die.

Love Delta Airlines? Yes!!
Love the unusually loud and high pitched sound inflight from MSP to PDX for three hours yesterday? No.
Tried many things, unsuccessfully.
Then the lightbulb moment.
Chewing gum.
Had to chew a second round for the other ear.
No one knew.
The ease in which bad mouthing the airline could have spewed forth was staggering.
But it didn’t. Not even for a second.

Is it possible that when we are angry and unwilling to forgive someone could it really be possible that we are actually angry with ourselves?
If we are unwilling to forgive ourselves, we will never be able to forgive others.
We unknowingly channel our discontent with ourselves into our outward behaviors to others.
Wish it wasn’t true.
The only antidote is to accept this, admit it, spend serious time (possibly years) rethinking, reprioritizing, and then recommitting to forgiving ourselves.
World class forgiveness is the only way to free ourselves. For good.
