i have no idea what to write about to be honest. i forgot that there was a gridblog topic for today until i got home and checked everyone elses blogs. so i have read everyone else's thoughts before i sat down to write my own. i hope they all forgive me for plagiarism.
but seriously.
not only have i experienced forgiveness from the creator of the universe, i have experienced it from so many people too. and dont get me wrong...God's forgiveness is huge. so huge. but i think it is sometimes harder for people to forgive each other. so i am in awe of the way God shows himself to me through the forgiveness that my parents have shown me for my highschool years, as well as my stubornness since. without their loving, caring, forgiving attitude i wouldnt even be close to where i am at in the journey right now. (which honestly isnt even that good of a place). so many people have not only put up with my pride, arrogance, and selfishness (among a whole lot more) but have forgot about them. forgiven me. wow. i am so thankful that God has put these people in my life to model His forgiveness to me. if you are reading this, you are likely one of those people. so thank you. no seriously. i mean it. thanks!

we all have to do it for each other. we humans are so self-absorbed and consumed by some kind of value hierarchy... its hard not to be self-obsessed. its pretty much impossible not to need to be forgiven when your obsessed with yourself. i've been reading miller's "searching for god knows what" and it has driven a lot of those ideas home for me. i pretty much plaigairized the whole thing to you just now. anyway this comment is getting long and i'm not even sure why i'm typing anymore. i just like comments so i figured i'd better comment to others too since i like it so much. comment comment.
ummm, your right jer. you are a rotten prick...
