    Thoughts on Mortality, Life, and Forgiveness

    DEATH BE NOT PROUDMy cousin, Jim Reidhead, is preparing for a bone marrow transplant in a valiant attempt to defeat the leukemia that just doesn’t want to give up its grip on his body.  His brother, David, was the donor.  He is fighting to hold onto life.Today’s sudden and tragic death of Tim Russert has been a bit strange, for want of a better word.  It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the death of someone who wasn’t an A-list celeb or a major political figure cause so much shock.  Perhaps it reminds us about the fragile ...

    Accident Forgiveness Coverage
    2008-04-10 14:39:55
    What is accident forgiveness coverage?If you are involved in an at-fault accident, accident forgiveness protects your driving record from falling to the bottom of the insurance rating system. For example, if your insurer uses the common 6-star rating system and you have an at-fault accident, your 6 star rating might drop down to a 0-star designation. If you were previously a 6-star driver this means your rates will significantly increase. However, with accident forgiveness your star rating will not fall as much, if at all. By protecting your standing on the star rating system, accident forgiveness results in a break on your auto insurance premium that you would otherwise have to pay if it did not exist. Who can get accident forgiveness? The availability of accident forgiveness varies by company. If available, it is simply as a built-in feature of an insurer's auto insurance coverage, or is purchased as an endorsement on the policy.1. Accident Forgiveness - As a built-in feature of the

    10 Steps to Forgiveness
    2008-03-23 09:55:00
    For many people forgiveness is one of the hardest steps of all in our progress toward freedom of spirit. Yet it is essential. For as long as we are unable to forgive, we keep ourselves chained to the unforgiven. We give them rent-free space in our minds, emotional shackles on our hearts, and the right to torment us in the small hours of the night. When it is time to move on, but still too hard, try some or all of these steps.(Note that these steps are appropriate for events resulting from an ongoing relationship with anyone. They may not all be appropriate for the random act of violence from a stranger.)1. Understand that forgiving does not mean giving permission for the behavior to be repeated. It does not mean saying that what was done was acceptable. Forgiveness is needed for behaviors that were not acceptable and that you should not allow to be repeated.2. Recognize who is being hurt by your non-forgiveness. Does the other person burn with your anger, feel the knot in your stomach,

    Forgiveness
    2008-02-13 07:51:00
    The following definition of forgiveness if from Wikipedia-- "Forgiveness is the mental, emotional and/or spiritual process of ceasing to feel resentment or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution[[:Template:American Psychological Association. September, 2006]]. Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives, in terms of the person forgiven and/or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven. In some contexts, it may be granted without any expectation of compensation, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is dead). In practical terms, it may be necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgement, apology, and/or restitution, or even just ask for forgiveness, in order for the wronged person to believe they are able to forgive.

    Should Mortgage Debt Forgiveness be Taxed?
    2007-12-20 00:00:00
    Today, President Bush signed into law a new tax law that puts in place a three year exclusion from income of mortgage debt forgiveness. Currently, individuals who receive forgiveness of their mortgage must claim the forgiveness as income on their IRS tax forms. This change in tax law is bad tax policy for two reasons. First, it's temporary. If mortgage debt forgiveness should not be taxable income, then why should somebody who is in financial trouble in 2008 be more deserving of somebody who is in financial trouble in 2012? Such a provision defies logic and basically shows that the politicians are just trying to appease the short-run concern of voters, void of any true principle. But then again, tax policy in Washington is rarely driven by principle. And that brings us to the second reason why this is bad tax policy   mortgage debt forgiveness is income and should be taxed under an income tax. There is a reason that the IRS lawyers have rul

    Forgiveness, real and imagined
    2007-12-13 15:29:00
    From the Times Literary Supplement, December 12th 2007When forgiveness becomes the public rallying cry, played out on daytime television soap operas, encouraged by civic and religious leaders, and praised far and wide for its power to heal, its slide into confusion and vulgarity is inevitable. It becomes identified with “closure”, it is sentimentalized and transformed into therapy, and the criteria for its practice are obscured. It melds into forgetfulness of wrong, and is granted all too easily, once the expected public theatrics are performed.From the Institute of War and Peace Reporting, November 23rd 2007Michael Okello 32, of Koch Goma internal refugee camp, complained that rebel team leader Martin Ojul chose a very disparaging way of asking for forgiveness from victims. It seemed as if Ojul was making them apologise, he said. "This is adding insult to injury. Does it mean that these people came all their way to tell us to rise up our hands so that they take our pictures and show the world?” he asked. “Are they after genuine reconciliation? “They want us to reconcile but they haven't accounted for the atrocities they committed."To many, Ojul was not offering an apology on behalf of the LRA. Rather he was trying to create an impression that the Acholi community has forgiven Kony and is opposed to a trial for Kony and his top commanders in front of the International Criminal Court, ICC, in The Hague.

    Forgiveness: How to Make Peace with your Past and Get on with Your Life
    2007-10-26 10:49:00
    To search inside click here Sorry it has been so long since I’ve posted. There have been some personal issues that have been taking up much of my spare time. I am reading an amazing book that I can’t put down titled Forgiveness: How to Make Peace with Your Past and Get on with Your Life by Dr. Sidney B. Simon and Suzanne Simon. It discusses how forgiveness isn’t a gift that you give to someone who hurt you, but a gift you give to yourself. Many physical stressors in our lives occur due to the fact that we are holding onto grudges and other heavy baggage that weighs us down because we feel that by forgiving we are somehow giving in or letting them get away with it or that we are not validating our feelings. I haven’t finished it yet but I feel like I can relate so well with the words so I thought I would share with you a quick summary and some of my favorite entries so far. What Forgiveness is Not Forgiveness is not forgetting.Forgiveness is not condoning.Forgiveness is not a form of self- sacrifice.Forgiveness is not absolution.Forgiveness is not a clear cut one time decision. What Forgiveness Is Forgiveness is a by-product of an ongoing healing process.Forgiveness is an internal process.Forgiveness is a sign of positive self esteem.Forgiveness is letting go of the intense emotions attached to incidents from our past.Forgiveness is recognizing that we no longer need our grudges and resentments, out hatred and self pity.Forgiveness is no longer wanting to punish the people who hurt us.Forgiveness is accepting that nothing we do to punish them will heal us.Forgiveness is freeing up and putting to better use the energy once consumed by holding grudges, harboring resentments, and nursing old wounds.Forgiveness is moving on. No matter what the wound was caused from or who caused it, the healing process has stages that we all go through: DenialSelf-blameVic

    Forgiveness: No Fishing Allowed!
    2007-08-05 08:14:56
    A pastor’s son and his mom had been to a shopping mall and the boy had badly misbehaved, whining for this and that, running off, etc. As they were driving home, the boy could sense his mother’s displeasure and said, “Mother, when we ask God to forgive us when we are bad, He does, doesn’t He?” She replied, “Yes, He does.” The boy continued, “And when He forgives us, He buries our sins in the deepest sea, doesn’t He? The mom replied, “Yes, that’s what the Bible says.” The boy was silent for awhile and then said, “I’ve asked God to forgive me, but I bet when we get home, you’re going to go fishing for those sins, aren’t you?” Too often, we do “go fishing” for other people’s sins. But one of the wonderful aspects of God’s forgiveness is that He promises to remember our sins no more (Isa. 43:25; Jer. 31:34). The past — with its iniquities, brokenness, and self-recr

    Movie Review by Jim Heinrich, Apr. 18, 2007: A strong Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation about forgiveness
    2007-04-18 20:09:03
    [Editorial Note: This is a good review of the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie starring Dean Cain, airing on CBS this Sunday, April 22nd]"The off-putting title of Sunday's Hallmark Hall of Fame _ "Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness" _ suggests a moralizing parable or worse. Yet the straightforward narrative, airing at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS and closely based on a true story, speaks for itself and forces us to contemplate how we would react in a similar situation.Dean Cain ("Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman") plays Bruce Murakami, a Tampa, Fla., contractor whose close-knit family includes a wife, two teenage sons and a young daughter. Early on, wife Cindy and daughter Chelsea head for the mall, and little Chelsea shares the "family rule": When you leave the house, you get a kiss." Read the full review here.
