With forgiveness Sunday approaching I was wondering if there was a way to create a forgiveness thread. I know I have said things I oughn't have in my short time here.

Have y'all done that before? If folks think its a good idea, Is there a proper way to do it?

Whatch'all think?

I know that I have been a poop at times. Please forgive me, anyone I may have offended.

On the topic at hand, while I am not at all a fan of CCM, I have stumbled across what I feel is a little gem of a song about forgiveness. You can listen to the first half at http://www.jimwitter.com/music.php?audio=audio3 The page used to have all of it on it and I wish it still did. It's quite poignant.

To everyone whom I have offended, I ask that you may forgive me. I often put my foot in my mouth and say things that come out wrong. I am much more skilled with a paintbrush than I am with words. To the one who I have highly offended, I ask please forgive me and accept that I am working on those things which I need to make changes in. God forgives, and I forgive you all.

Forgive me for over-reacting and reading into anyone's words here.. especially if I've judged who they are as a person based on silly posts. Forgive me for getting mad at others for not respecting my perspectives and then being snotty at them about it and, in turn not respecting their perspectives.

Dear brothers and sisters, please forgive all the times my posts have not been motivated by love and have cause offence. I am a sinner filled with pride and am priviledged to count you all as friends. God bless you all and strengthen you this Lent.

John.

Brothers and Sisters of TAW, please forgive me for the times when I have been harsh and judgemental. Please forgive me for the times I have offended you and over-reacted.

As God forgives, I forgive you all!

My warmest wishes for a Blessed Lent this year!

A beautiful thread. I'm very much looking forward to my first Forgiveness Vespers this year (don't ask).

My dear brothers and sisters, please forgive my offenses whether by word, deed, or thought.

As God forgives, I forgive.

Mary
