“When people die, they are forgiven and welcomed home.  Then God will help them figure out how to clean up the disgusting messes they have made.  God has skills and ideas on how to do this.”

–Anne Lamott, Grace (Eventually), p. 29

“Forgiving is a choice that brings healing–probably more to the giver than to the recipient.  When we forgive, we do not change the circumstances or injustices of the past.  What we change is the future–for ourselves and for the ones we have forgiven.  It is the most freeing choice we can make.”

–Carol Kent, A New Kind of Normal
