Dear PB,
Thanks so much for your answer. You have made clear that which has been muddling around in the brain for a time. I believe so strongly in Grace - that precious gift. Even with my strong sense of Grace - and the fact that I truly believe that the love of our Lord separates us from our sin as far as the East is from the West, I have the hardest time living with my own things done and left undone. I find it much easier to forgive someone else's shortcomings than mine. Today I am seeking peace with myself and rest in His love. Tomorrow will bring it's own needs and desires. Thanks for this blog - as always, a gift right when I needed it.

Dear Mr. Pious Bob,
I've enjoyed your blog so far. Looks like you need more commenters. I've been thinking about writing something, so I'll give it a try. I have a girl friend who looks at the Bible as literal and will not budge an inch, even on the parts that put down women. It's like the Bible is her anchor and she is unable to look at the history of religion in the world and see all our commonalities. She thinks that if you're not a saved Christian, you're going to hell. That means a majority of humans in the world have and will not enter the gates of heaven. I can't bring myself to think that our God would be so unkind to most of His created children. What do you think about this situation with my friend? I need help in relating to and understanding her. Thanks in advance and God Bless You.
