A few Questions and Comments, please [not in any anger]:

The post you partially quoted, sent to you recently by  [       clipped    },  is precise.  However,  when you quote out of context, you mislead.  When you use *red* words, you mislead.

Here’s how:

My comments were directed to *CD* as part of an ongoing fued w/ a person I consider to be very angry and incapable of granting forgiveness at this point in his life – and which has very little to do w/ me.

Yet, to ask forgiveness of each of those to whom I’d brought grief, including *CD*,  is exactly why I re-entered the JD.net board.   I owned up to my sin to them, also, and asked forgiveness. 

I also forgave them for *not* yet being able to forgive me.  My burden was to heartfully ask – theirs to respond as they chose . . . or could.

I received a huge Root of Bitterness from *CD* and a few others.   My preceisely quoted statement was to let him, and each very vocal bitter soul, clearly know that *Good had come from my Evil*

What I said to *CD* and his ilk is true:  their Hatred has long been neutrilized and their Victory diffused.  Why?  Because, *Grace changes everything*

Every intention toward me by them has been to bring me harm.  There is nothing noble about any actions ever taken by *CD* or any *aka* he might use. 

But *Harm has turned to Blessing* for me – fully thru Forgivness;  First, from my Lord, and now Chaplain Galle ’s family.

I came to your site this morning to tell you all about Chaplain Galle ’s family finding me thru here – for that, to me, is wonderful.  Please read the following quote and then be kind enough to answer me a couple questions:

rex,

all is forgiven but this is the first i had ever heard of it...i was surfing the web. b/c uncle joe was supposed to/ or did die in korea ..a few years back... and i was searching for something about him a orbituary or anything and came across your apology..

always

Michele

The healing, both for Chaplain G alle ’s family and for me, is a direct result of me being located on your site.   Michele and I have traded e-mails i treasure, as does she.  You do see that now, do you not?

Forgiveness for guilt is not to  dismiss the Sin, but to grow thru the grief . . . into healing.  That can’t happen w/o the Grace of Forgiveness.   That’s the whole message behind the Biblical account of “Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors”  there is no other message in that account – read it, perhaps.

The few questions, please:

Why would you choose *red* for certain phrases, if not to mislead?  Why would you choose to quote only a small portion of an entire dialoge, if not to mislead?  My lies were mine alone.  I own up to them.  for you to, in any way, mislead otherwise, is also  dishonest.

Do you see I own the lies and the grief I brought others?  Do you see the result of Forgiveness – my Lord’s and Chaplain Galle ’s family?  Do you see how me being exposed  has lead to good and to healing for others . . . and even me?

I’ve tried four times these past four days to contact viperASH, to tell him the very same things I’ve told you.  No reply, as yet. 

Evil moving thru Forgiveness into Healing and Good is the way God intended Sin to be dealt with.  Repentence is, indeed, necessary.   Nothing cleanses like Repentence, followed by Forgiveness – then the re-earning of trust.  That’s where I am – at the re-earning of trust.  It is my heart’s desire.

How much, if any, of this missive you print is beyond my control.  But, if you choose to be fully fair, then quote me in *red* w/ the truth that *Grace changes everything*

Thankfully,

Rex
