This has been a tough year for me personally from a "religious" perspective. I have become more aware than ever of the importance of "Grace". I must say it is difficult to not be a hypocrite when we discuss our religious views and even more difficult to accept the reality of so much "Christian Hypocrisy." The war in Iraq certainly hasn't helped matters. It seems that most ministers support the war, but on what grounds. Jesus Christ was able to accept "sinners" and sought them out for the purpose of "redemption". Christ didn't want us to pass judgment, but to "forgive". If we can "forgive" and accept God's sovereignty our own spiritual and mental health will benefit.
