"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord.   On the contrary: 
   'If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
      if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
   In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

Justin did a great job delivering the message, and i was truly encouraged. so today i get to school, and i hear that a person, whom i speak to on a daily basis and who even goes to my church, has said that Bruce Gilley deserved to die because of what kind of person he was. I honestly almost threw up when i was told this. and the first thought that came to mind, was that scripture and last night's message. it's funny how many times we ask God to change our hearts or to move in some way in our lives, and then we are all shocked when He does. i think that through this kind of scenario, God is trying to get this love thing through my head. but man, it still makes me mad as all get out. gracious. how on earth could he say that? if you, and you know who you are, read this entry and want to get all angry and tell me that "Bruce said stuff about me or made fun of me...", let me tell you, i don't want to hear it. you obviously didn't know him in the least and didn't care to ever learn. but i forgive you, and i know that he would too. well, i gotta go do my homework...unfortunately. i love you all regardless. much love---Cari
