His posting for Feb. 5th is “On Forgiveness.” It begins:
The next posting is “Singing The Mystery Of The Ages” with links to music on YouTube.In Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis considers the Christian virtue of forgiveness, embodied in the biblical command to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Our neighbor includes our enemy, which means we have a responsibility to forgive our adversaries. Lewis holds that this is the most unpopular of Christian virtues, even more so than chastity. I think he’s right.
Scan popular culture for depictions of forgiveness, and you might be hard pressed to find many. More common would be stories of getting even after one has been hurt. Something in us cries out for justice, for a righting of wrongs—especially if we’re the injured party.
Visit for some excellent reading.

Viola,
Some time ago I promised to get back to you after attending a meeting of Christians United For Israel. Here is my blog posting about the meeting yesterday. -- http://gmscan.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/standing-with-israel/
Thank you for all your insights.
