The Christian life is a counter cultural world. This is never more true than with forgiveness. This a world where forgiveness is for the weak. But the Christian knows, or should know, that forgiveness is a deeply practical tool for living. Forgiving your fellow human being of his shortfalls is a sure way of helping you understand your own. Not to mention the sheer benefit of not carrying around with you the burden of every little thing that gets up your nose or every unbearable load that is the remnant of past sins. Forgiveness is practical everyday living stuff.
It is in that sense that I am able to say that I forgive our President for giving Her Britannic Majesty, Elizabeth II, an iPod with his own speeches on it. As a good friend of mine has said, “dude, if he was chocolate he would eat himself”.
God forgive us all ……..

We all need forgiveness buddy. On the other hand the leader of the free world should not be giving a mix tape of show tunes and speeches to the Queen! Dude, grow up!
