Second Chances

I’ve lost my writeability!   Is that is even a word?  Letters used to multiply and wrap around each other on the page and they don’t do that anymore!  I have sat down time and again and tried to write on topics such as consequences for actions, 2^nd chances, forgiveness and the list goes on and on.  I think I have finally decided that I need to write but I need to write for me and me alone.  I don’t need to be fancy.  I need to be real and if real includes simplistic words and commas tossed here and there, then that’s okay. 

I’m no longer in school but I’m still learning.  I learn things everyday.  I’m learning new things in excel for work, I’m learning about the Jewish religion and lately and most important, I’m learning that people sometimes aren’t who you really think they are.       

ARE THERE SECOND CHANCES? 

Personally, I think that everyone deserves a 2^nd chance.  However, I’m learning that with my God there are 3^rd and 4^th chances but with people that isn’t necessarily the case unless your names are Jean Ann and Barnes O’Neal.  I’m learning that God is a God of the 3rd and 4th chances, but we usually limit Him to 2 when we limit others to as many.  I'm ending this mid-thought because I think that last sentence is so important it needs to be reflected on further.    

Here’s some good news as I type in the insomnianic (is that a word?) dark at 12:56 AM about my tomorrow morning --

It might not be the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen but it’s a new day!

Last but not least…my devotional verse tonight is eerily worth sharing…

Matthew 7:1-2
¹Do not judge, or you too will be judged. ²For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
