God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
One does not have to remove all consequences for sin (i.e., to pardon) in order to forgive. It may be just and necessary for an offender to suffer consequences for wrong, but the motive of the one imposing or requiring the consequences cannot be malicious. We are not permitted to desire the ultimate harm of the offender. The gospel always provides hope, always seeks restoration. Even when the criminal is sentenced, and we properly rejoice to see justice done, the Christian also desires to see the offender recognize the sin, repent, and know spiritual restoration. Forgiveness does not require pardon from consequences; it requires an absence of malice (i.e., no desire for the person’s spiritual harm) even in the application of those consequences. We may well desire justice, but desires for personal revenge or spiritual damage are not our right as Christians.

Rules for this diet:
1. If you eat something and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories. 2.
If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, the calories in the candy
bar are cancelled out by the diet soda. 3. When you eat with someone
else, calories don't count if you don't eat
more than they do. 4. Food used for medicinal purposes NEVER count, such
as hot chocolate,
brandy, toast, and Sara Lee Cheesecake 5. If you fatten up everyone else
around you, then you look thinner. 6. Movie related foods do not have
additional calories because they are
part of the entire entertainment package and not part of one's
personal fuel. (Example: Milk Duds, Buttered Popcorn, Junior Mints,
Red Hots, or Tootsie Rolls). 7. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The
process of breaking causes
calorie leakage. 8. Things licked off knives or spoons have no calories
if you are in the
process of preparing something. Examples: peanut butter on a knife
while making sandwiches or ice cream on a spoon while making a
sundae. 9. Foods that have the same color have the same number of
calories.
Examples are spinach and pistachio ice cream or mushrooms and white
chocolate.
NOTE: Chocolate is a universal color and may be substitited for any
other food color.

Marlisa, who works in one of our plants, faxed this to me today at work,
and it's very amusing. I thought I'd share it with you guys. It seems to
sum up my philosophy of dieting pretty well...
