Forgiveness is a big deal.
Last night I was in a terrible mood and took it out on Maike. This morning I felt remorseful and left a note on the door that simply said "I'm sorry I was a jerk last night." I thought that would be the end of it.
But when I got home tonight I found a note of reply. It said, "Whit, I forgive you. Thanks for apologizing."
It meant a lot to read the "I forgive you." Reminded me of a certain flood of forgiveness I feel when I consider Jesus. But that's what the good friends are: Jesus in skin.
There is nothing more liberating than undeserved forgiveness.

...oops...that was me. -Heather
