I don’t know about you, but I am taking a much needed break from my political driving and I am going to pursue some of my other passions. Tonight it is music! I am the son and grandson of some very gifted musicians. My grandfather was a violinist for the Dallas Symphony in the 50’s.

Thoughts About Forgiveness

I will, upon occasion, read the latest articles on The Gospel Coalition. As an evangelical Christian, I like to keep up with theological trends and conversations. This morning I read an article by Dane Ortlund called “The Psychology of Resentment“, wherein he talks about the response people have to wrongs, and particularly grievous wrongs perpetuated upon ourselves done by others and he details the bitterness we often harbor as a result: So what happens?
