The Monday Tour: 2/6/06
Some posts I liked from Christian Carnival 107 Posts:
- "Wherever Two or Three are Gathered" at CB.Blog about Christians and online community.
- Dan Edelen at Cerulean Sanctum on "Hearing God"
- "To Forgive is Divine" from Rev Ed. He quotes this linked wisdom:
[Bell] suggested that until you are able to look at someone who has wronged you and wish them the best in life, you haven't truly reached a state of forgiveness. It's one thing to say "I forgive you". Not that that's an easy step either. That step alone could take years. But to then look at the person (either figuratively or literally) and tell them that you want the best for them and that you hope their journey is 'blessed'--that's a whole different thing. Our natural inclination is to wish they get what they deserve, and not in a good way. We usually want that person to suffer for what they've done, or at least pay the toll. But that's a call for vengeance. That's a sign that you haven't truly let go of your bitterness or resentment. You haven't really forgiven them.

Thanks for linking! You know, I was hesitant to submit that post for the Carnival, as I wasn't sure if it would be too controversial or not - or if I was making my point clearly enough without sounding inflammatory.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a great post. Look at any blog and they become communities. There are residents, guests, passers-by, and parts of the family.
ReplyDeleteThey get to know each others likes and dislikes, etc. And, they build up rules for their interaction.
Look at a communities like Evangelical Outpost, Street Prophets, and Dkos for very different looks at how those communities relate and interact.
Its really rather amazing.
