How long, how long...woman, will you weep?

The Eagles--Supergroup
Their new album from about a year ago has really grown on me. Songs like "How Long?" have won my heart. It's kind of like an anthem for me to continue moving on.

I'm in the process of forgiving myself. I believe I have accepted God's forgiveness for my errors of the past and I am once again whole and pursuing Him with my whole heart!

I love you, Father. Thank you for teaching me your grace and mercy. I promise to extend more mercy to the needy.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy."
(Matthew 5:7)

As an eagle of God's I shall rise up to walk in the Spirit. Bless my soul!

Regression to Depression to Repression

"Old habits die hard."--Old Wives' Tale

For personal growth one needs eight, count 'em, eight hugs a day. This helps people not regress into depression. Depression is a deep sadness that lasts for more than two weeks. Repression could be the next step for some people if they have not been used to dealing with their emotions appropriately. It keeps people from realizing their sin of not letting God know them. Dysfunction abounds in our culture,so who really has a handle on his emotions? We,as a culture, have not been taught how. Jesus was so right when He asked the Father to "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." Indeed, we don't. Thank you, God, for your love, grace, and mercy. We love you with all that we are.
