My first, and last, midterm is tomorrow night. Its great to only have one. After that we get reading break for all of next week and Chapter is coming down, so I am very excited. I will have to get work done over the holidays (bleggghhh) but thats school for ya. It also means I probably won't post much between thurs the 12th and monday the 23rd. As soon as I get back, I have an appointment with the surgeon too. Its not the surgery, just the preliminary thing. What I want is for that meeting to go quick and for my surgery to be scheduled quickly afterwards, instead of having to wait 6-8 weeks, but I suspec that is what I will have to do.
Forgiveness: A Hard Word From Luther
"Those who follow Christ grieve more over the sin of their offenders than over the loss or offense to themselves. And they do this that they may recall those offenders from their sin rather than avenge the wrongs they themselves have suffered. Therefore they put off the form of their own righteousness and put on the form of those others, praying for their persecutors, blessing those who curse, doing good to the evil-doers, preparing to pay the penalty and make satisfaction for their very enemies that they may be saved. This is the gospel and the example of Christ." - Martin Luther (Quoted by Miroslav Volf, Free of Charge, pg. 161-162)
