I didn't have to go to work today!! It was nice. I was supposed to go to my aerobics class at 8:30 am but I forgot to set my alarm. Actually I'm kind of happy I didn't set it because I had a great sleep! I then watched the movie "In her shoes" and enjoyed it... That took me to 12:00pm at which point I made kraft dinner and ate it happily! I then went tanning and hit the gym for three hours!!! Aside from the extremely relaxing day I accomplished alot of thinking. So many things that I had been told and read in the last while hit me and caused me to examine my life. I'll tell you a little about it...
Grace and forgiveness... Shouldn't Christians show more of that because of what Christ did on the cross. You would think so... I wouldn't say that Christians show no grace and do no good things in this world, I just find that nonbelievers show it much more readily. With Christians there are extra emotions that lie behind every forgiveness act and non believers the judgements are so much lower that forgivness is more of an option because things arn't taken so personally and anaylsed so deeply. I found myself in this catagory. I gave people one or two chances to be close to me but when all was said and done if they disapointed me more than that I was done...
I realized this was so retarded. My friend told me that he accepts everyone and forgives them as much as he can until he gets too annoyed. He goes where ever he is invited and gives every friendship every chance humanly possible... I just admired that so much... this caused me to realize that I too need to forgive as many times needed... no one is perfect definatly not me... The thing is, I had to learn this from someone who has different beliefs than I do...
I also realized that if you live with no grace or forgiveness in your life you carry around a burden that can be released, but only if you let it. Why not forgive and move on with your life... things can be so much happier.
Oh ya and on a lighter note!!! I passed my next test for the RCMP!!! WHOO HOO!!! I trained so hard and it paid off greatly!!! I don't think i've ever worked for anything harder!

Hey, that's awesome that you passed your next RCMP test. So what part of the process are you at now? Getting close to being trained as a deadly-weapon with hand-to-hand combat? Because when that happens I so want you to be my muscle who just stands beside me and beats up anyone who crosses my path!
Seriously...I can pay you $2 a week!
