There is a new Bible study at our church on 'forgiveness:' Book is Choosing Forgiveness, Your Journey to Freedom by Nancy Leigh Demoss
What came to mind at the end of class yesterday, was 2 web pages I wrote on forgiveness

(Although the content I did not originate)

One was 'dictated' by the Lord to my friend, Helen Siatos of IL.
She had a pastoral couple who were deeply wounded,
and this is what the Lord instructed Helen to write out and mail to them:

Helen also shared with me her wisdom on child discipline:

(I lost my friend Helen to the harm of glycol ether); and my friend Norma; and my friend Richard ( I was feeling a little down March, 2007, because an oil spill worker friend of mine is dying and I see it all the time; he was found dead June, 2009)

Some good thoughts

a friend says, You can never be a prophet in your own country. Even Christ left Galilee and went to Judea.
Or as we use to say in Alaska State government: "A consultant is anybody that is 100 miles from home.".

May is Alaska Toxic Injury Awareness month:

My oldest son was injured in a job he took after high school,
and he said to me later,

"I'm not going to live in bitterness"

Little did he know the price he would pay / and is still paying
 

If I knew it would be the last time,

Poem - "No Regrets" *
 

Sleep My Child, and Peace Attend Thee

All Through the Night 

    This innocent young person was 18 years old when he worked on the Exxon oil spill cleanup - to earn money to go to college 

 Angels watching ever round thee, 
All through the night,
In thy slumbers close surround thee,
All through the night,
They should of all fears disarm thee,
No forebodings should alarm thee,
They will let no peril harm thee,
All through the night.
