"And if we can push through our pride, past the sting of humiliation and shame, and come to repentance, then we will receive the blessings of godly sorrow. " This is the sentence that really jumped out at me and gave me pause. How many times have I gotten defensive and let my pride rear up because I was embarrassed and didn't push through and so missed the blessings that were on the other side. Wow. Lot to think on there. Janice this was sooo good.

I have to take care of couple of things by the end of the year and I hope to start with a 'clean slate' 2007. Thank you for sharing, my dear friend. Blessings to you and yours for 2007.

Oh, this is true but on the other side is the freedom, the joy, the life. Well written. :) Janice,
