So here is an observation:
I am absolutely amazed and astounded by the passive-aggressive and not-so-gentle comments and statements people are making in their blogs, facebook notes and statuses, instant message away statuses etc.
Whoah.
I am grateful for the power of the cross of Christ to reconcile all things. The playing field has been leveled - we ALL fall short of the glory of God. I am indebted to the work of Christ on the cross that allows me to be reconciled to God as well as to my brothers and sisters.
