We can make a list of rules, allowing us to judge others, even though we don't live up to all our own rules on our own list. But, living by grace means embracing the outcast that has broken all the rules, dressing the nasty wounds of those hurt by their own foolish decisions, and loving those that not only don't love us but, many times, are our enemies. Rules are easier and that is why most religions that have a list of rules are most popular with the populace. When we live grace, like Jesus, we open ourselves to keeping quiet and knowing He is God, even in the face of loud voices around us that cause our blood pressure to rise. Love you, love your blog, and love the fact you now live close to us! What we all learn, when we try to live grace, is that grace is messier than rules.

On occasion, if I'm not being a hot head, I hope that perhaps a little bit of wisdom seeps through. ;) Well thank you for that encouragement.

Especially when everything is so contentious and we all feel so strongly. It's hard to know when to speak and when to...not speak. I love your heart, Melody. :) It’s so hard, isn’t it?!
