Most Christians do not believe in second chances. Change my mind.

Well, Christ believed in second chances. “Seventy times seven.”
I had never thought about his before. Why do say this?

Probably something to do with the Jubilee (Hebrew: ืืืืโ yลแธel; Yiddish: yoyvl).
Just kidding, I think.

Then just remember to try to forgive but not necessarily always forgetting.
Did I tell y’all about the fight I got into with my big bro at work? We both got canned. Go figure!

Remember lying on your back and watching 60mm mortar rounds go straight up?

As JaC points out, the opportunity for forgiveness is unlimited; should one ask repeatedly, while simultaneously trying to avoid the need to ask. Many Christians – and other believers – make God smaller than he is, in their understanding, so they don’t have to try quite so hard to live like one. Our pal C.S. Lewis points this out all the time. Btw, Christmas is a reminder of the ultimate opportunity for a second chance, isn’t it?

Hey, as long as we’re doing patriotic, may I request James Brown’s Living in America?
I have a good story about that song! I first heard it while traveling abroad…

Cane sugar, maybe, but…Thai stick’s relatives give me a headache. (Memory from strolling through college-dorm halls in the mid-1970s.)

You are so cute, Nanda ๐ I agree with you! I tried “stick” several times, tried to get into it, thought it would make me cool, but I just never understood the appeal. I have enough bad habits, and am grateful to have been spared from that one ๐

Check zero mills. Some say it is better just to follow my lead but without trying too hard to understand what I am doing at any one time. In other words, all will be revealed (before the end of times).
