Lance,
I beg to differ on what you wrote. It doesn't say if you don't forward it you are not a Christian. BUT I am sorry if it "offended" Any one. Also so replying to this message below : There was no name on this original e-mail about the "Target Jesus story" So
how bold a witness is this anyway? I forgot to sign my name just as some " other" people forget to sign their stuff they send through. Pardon me to all who were offended for forwarding what I thought was a good e-mail. I sincerely apologize to all who were offended.

But - Forgiveness is a terrific topic.
When we forgive the things that seem unforgivable, it really lets the beauty
of Jesus shine forth. It is tough to "let it go." Why? Because when we
hang on to how horrible their actions were, we can feel we are so much
higher, better than "them". But that is a lie, we are all capable of some
pretty nasty stuff.
grateful to be forgiven and able to forgive... Carla
