Honesty Pants

Have you ever read "Ragamuffin Gospel" by Brennan Manning?

If you haven't, sprint to your car, get some air flying into it, and speed the entire way to the nearest Barnes & Noble . . . because it's just that good.

A cool quote that is included in this book. . .

"We all have shadows and skeletons in our backgrounds. But listen, there is something bigger in this world than we are and that something bigger is full of grace and mercy, patience and ingenuity. The moment the focus of your life shifts from your badness to his goodness and the question becomes not "What have I done?" but "What can he do?" release from remorse can happen; miracle of miracles, you can forgive yourself because you are forgiven, accept yourself because you are accepted, and begin to start building up the very places you once tore down. There is grace to help in every time of trouble. That grace is the secret to being able to forgive ourselves. Trust it."
