You're up and walking the same day (with a walker), and rehab starts the very next day.

Those people who are waking up are becoming more receptive to hearing reason and truth. <br />Of course, one cannot go in guns blazing, so to speak when trying to reason with these folks, it requires more diplomacy and tact, <br />But most are listening to me, and others irt the left's many lies. <br /><br />Needless to say this does not endear me to any of the loco leftist agitators and propagandists, but it's good to know I am not alone out here, and there are others who are also fighting back against the leftist onslaught of lies and deceit. <br />Meeting them and becoming friends with them has shown me that hope never dies. <br />But it sure ain't gonna be easy to reverse all this damage the left is causing.

He's referring to a book that gets into Anselm's theology:<br /><br />"A fellow monk named Boso, who plaintively asks the master [Anselm] why God could not simply have pronounced a word of forgiveness from heaven and dispensed with all of the blood and horror of the crucifixion. Anselm replies, “You have not considered the weight of sin.” On a Biblical reading, sin is not simply a series of peccadillos that can be dealt with through earnest repentance or political reform or psychological manipulation. Sin is rather like a disease or an addiction, a state in which we find ourselves stuck. In point of fact, our thrashing around will serve only to make the situation worse, which can be seen over and again in human history. A power must come from outside of sin but at the same time, it must enter into sin, battling it, reversing it, breaking it from the inside. Work has to be done; a war has to be won; a price has to be paid—again, not to satisfy God, but to set things right for us. Indeed, Anselm specifies that the Son of God went all the way to the bottom of the muck of human dysfunction in order to recover the diamond (the image of God in us) and polish it to a shine. A mere word of forgiveness, uttered from the safety of heaven, would never have affected such a transformation. On that terrible cross, Jesus took upon himself the worst of humanity and swallowed it up in the ever greater divine mercy."tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354048695798015131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-90789929922912393452016-07-12T11:53:27.551-07:002016-07-12T11:53:27.551-07:00Best wishes and prayers for Mrs. G.
