Let us not decieve.

Can love and anger exist in the same space?
The maker of man says, yes.

Let us not forget that the devils greatest lie is that he doesn't exist.
But his second is that god could never forgive us.

Oh, but it is easier to remove the sliver from my neighbor's eye than to see the two by four sticking out of mine.

So let us not pretend that what is wrong is right; and try to make the un-holy look somehow divine.

Yes, let us not create our own god who loves the sins that we make, but remember our maker loves the sinner despite our mistakes.

He hates our violence...

He hates our crudeness...

He hates racism and anger towards each other in all it's ugly forms...

He hates what we have done and what some are still trying to do to marriage...

He hates how we treat our children both the born and unborn...

And yet he loves us as individuals struggling through life with whatever pages of truth we have torn.

Help us to do better is all I ask of today, and help me to forgive my own self and those around me for the mistakes that we have made.
