No followers yet:) Oh well...me and the wide world internet will have to keep our greatness to ourselves for now. Watching the Nelson Mandela movie. Quite weird. Did a little research...and I mean little into him. He was baptized a Methodist. Good to know. Kind of weird though. I never thought of him as a Christian, just as Oprah's person she went on and on about. To be honest I like Oprah, but she isn't a glowing endorsement for me. I mean she likes Dr. OZ. You gotta admit that guy lives in like weirdoville.

I have had a lot to forgive over the last couple years. It seems to have become the big theme of my life lately, and to say it sucks a big one doesn't do it justice. Thing is Nelson Mandela had it worse. He had to forgive a whole population of people, then be kind and patient with them while he proved to them that he didn't hate them. So they would follow him into a non-apart world. A world that didn't see Jew or Gentile, Woman or Man, Black or White. A world Jesus would be comfortable in. Speaking of kind and patience that is some of the definitions of love. My point? In order to not hate someone does that mean you have to love them? That is hard. Not as hard a Mandela though...so I guess it could be worse. Still seems hard....but a little less impossible.
