    Excellent. I love the weak and the strong and forgiveness...so true!!

    I will add a quote...'Anger gets you in trouble, Pride keeps you there.'

    Bill heard this in one of his lectures, but I do not know who it is credited to.

    I can remember my mother saying "When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." If she said it once, she said it a gazillion times! LOL!

    Gandhi's comment is my favorite. Forgiveness IS for the strong. He also said this, which is very eye-opening, "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are not like your Christ."
