Forgiveness

I am not surprised at your liking the notion of "extreme love," you let it slip over at the Course on Miracles thread that you endeavor to go beyond the 'norm.' I imagine u-dog thinks you're a Christian too? Budstian?

Budhistan? (is there an 'h' in there?)

I guess so!

While I call myself a closet Buddhist, I have the impression that U-dog would consider me a closet Christian. Though no matter which way one goes, one can't escape 'Love', can one?

Since I posted last on this thread, I've been imagining a reality show called Extreme Love. (Nothing pornographic mind you.) You'd have people traveling around the world, blind-siding someone who wronged them with forgiveness and love. Right out of the blue. Just womping'em with it. And then watching what would happen next....

I can smell a REAL Christian a mile away, Daniel! What's the old song? "They'll know we are Christians by our love by our love They'll know we are Christians by our love

yup. He's one of THEM all right.

You might have thought otherwise had you seen me yell....and I mean YELL at the 40-something man who I caught stealing roses from in front of our building this past week. The term 'thief' was one of the less colorful words heard coming out of my mouth.

Caught red-handed. Literally. He had 8 red and 4 pink roses in his hands. Sneered when I asked him - at first quite calmly- what he thought he was doing. Then turned his back on me and answered a cell call...then walzed across the street to give the ill-gotten gains to his- we later learned- gal-pal located in a street-level office.

The gall. I called the police. He called me names (the f word was thrown around liberally), threatened to hit me and then jumped in his jeep and drove off. The police came and I gave them the guy's license number. They said they'd catch up with him at home.

Then hubby and I marched across the street and got our flowers back.

If the guy were to show up at our door asking for forgiveness I think I'd make him work hard for it. Stealing beauty is a major offense!

But really, I feel sorry for the girlfriend. Her 'significant other' is cheap.

This is what you meant, right?

Brent,
Actually, your idea is probably a bit more exciting than mine... I'll have to re-think the thread.
