Update: I just recently picked up Charles Krauthammer's new book Things That Matter and am looking forward to reading it. Apparently in this book he discusses how he slowly migrated from a liberal perspective to become a conservative in his political philosophy. I'll post more on the book after I actually sit down and read it! I also just ordered Miracles and Massacres: True and Untold Stories of the Making of America by Glenn Beck and am looking forward to reading that. I'm hot and cold on Beck--but, over all, I like him. In one sense I am like Dr. Krauthammer-- in that, while once a died-in-the-wool liberal, as I grew older [and hopefully wiser] I evolved into a conservative. So, in that sense, the theory of evolution is real--politically. Otherwise, the Bible tells me what I need to know.
I just watched a really good message from Fr. Cedric called "Forgive and Live." As he pointed out, the Lord's Prayer instructs us to pray "forgive us our sins as we forgive others." Sure, as Christians we all know how much we need forgiveness from God and will even admit sometimes we do others wrong and should ask forgiveness from them. But, what about when people wrong us? Not so easy sometimes to forgive, is it? Perhaps we need to stop and think about the patience God has had for us that has produced the tremendous amount of forgiveness He offers.
