Remembering and Forgetting

I’m reading a very good book that I picked up a couple of years ago but just couldn’t read at the time.  I’ll post a link to it later.  But here’s a quote that caught me.  It describing why we forget and how beneficial it is.  The first was written by Karl Barth;the second by Volf:

And we are enabled [by God] to [forget].  If it were otherwise, we should be in a terrible plight.  We should never be able to bear the sight of our own being in time.

If we were to remember the wrongs we have committed, we may not be able to live with ourselves, especially if we remembered them not as perceived by our own vision occluded by self-exculpations but with the clarity of divine sight.

Cat needs home

Our 2.5 year old cat Fuzzy needs to be in a single pet (or 1 dog) home.  She doesn’t get along with our old cat.  She is a beautiful, soft, long-haired tabby and loves to play.

Here are pictures:  (It’s hard to get her to sit still)IM000014
