Simply Hi,

At the expense of simply expressing my feelings from my faith, and risking being chastised for that, I just simply am going to go ahead and wish you all here the gift of God's Mercy.

Today, as I have mentioned here before, has been a day of great expectation for me. Today I felt how wrong and noncourageous I have been. I honored and celebrated in my faith today Divine Mercy Sunay. I say this to you for two reasons, the first is that I want to share my pease and the second is Yes, becuase of the gift that He gave me, I do need to advertise.

Char went to church with me this morning for this special Sunday even tho she cannot resist expressiong her opinion about 'catholics'. She is and always has been Methodist, but she has attended the church of my faith and I guess reason is because she felt it important to me. She did today and I wa so happy! She just said to me this morning when I picked her up if it is important to you then it it is important..Her words.

Anyway, now is up to me to interanlize what has trnaspired today, and to listen to Him for His forgiveness and to forgive her and me (to forgive myself) and to simply love her as I do do.

So, at the expense of being viewed as politically incorrect and all of that, I wish to pass along to all of you my wishes for all of you to recieve His mercy, not only on this day but every day, for faith, courage, and peace.

Thanks,

Tom

I have heard it said that "We will spend eternity understanding the mystery of his Grace"

With all the rules and laws that God gave us so we can attempt to be righteous that we break in our vanity His Mercy reigns supreme Tom. He know the beginining and the end and Nobody loves us as much as he does.


I am amazed how the strength of sin is in the law yet we hear from so many how we are sinners but are not taught that Mercy triumphs over judgement. My catholic friend refers to it as reaching into the Arc and pulling out the law and showing it to us but that they bypass the Mercy seat which was placed on top of the Arc where the Son sits.

Not enough ppl really understand that God forgives and past sins are forgotten as soon as thier is true repentance. Thank you for reminding me of his Mercy and Judgement which brings true justice

Tom,
Thanks for sharing. I missed Mass this weekend, but now I get what my friend was referring to when we talked this afternoon. She said that she prayed for WH today based on the sermon given by the priest.

We talked about forgiveness and following God's Word. We both feel that our conversations about WH and the actions I take are all done in love, not revenge or greed.

I will continue to pray for WH and all the waywards of the world.
