Despite that he was chosen to be king.<BR/><BR/>That gives me hope that God will make something good out of me yet. I think I am a pretty good repenter, too. I've had lots of practice.<BR/><BR/>Klady, David's way of moving on is definitely better. The past is gone. The future never comes. All we have is the present to work with.<BR/><BR/>I believe that God not only forgives, but that he wants us to <B>feel</B> forgiven. Regrets and worry about choices not made are a dead end. God does not lead us to dead ends.<BR/><BR/>Now I'll go and try to practice what I've preached. That's the hard part.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457782610616273742.post-41390650721772501672007-08-12T21:46:00.000-04:002007-08-12T21:46:00.000-04:00Yes, that's one of the things about David-- he was...Yes, that's one of the things about David-- he was a world-class repenter, and repentance is all about a means of moving on. (He also combined disproportionately tender family relationships with being a warrior-- the whole David saga's well worth many rereads. It's very strange.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457782610616273742.post-77821355610048057782007-08-12T07:29:00.000-04:002007-08-12T07:29:00.000-04:00Thanks, boocat.

Too often I am stuck in my head and immobilized by a body that gets too much food and too little exercise. Some of it I can't help because of my work at home in front of the computer, but of course there is much I can do but don't. You are an inspiration for making those changes, external and internal.<BR/><BR/>Off to church today and then the soccer fields, so I'll be out of my head for awhile!kladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526715552795733402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457782610616273742.post-70965244525480924972007-08-12T00:32:00.000-04:002007-08-12T00:32:00.000-04:00klady, There you have it.

It was when I let go and moved forward to embrace the future that my life began to change. Forty-three year habits are hard to change, so sometimes I temporarily slip back. There are still a lot of changes to make, but when we come right down to it that's what life is about isn't it--it's all change, all the time.BooCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193638351756858614noreply@blogger.com
