“Now there's something I'm gonna have to pay for down the line”
I know what you mean there. That is what the grace of God is for. We all have made so many mistakes, both willingly and unwillingly, that we can never make amends. Its a very humbling and embarrassing realization. There are some things I can not forgive myself for, I'm just praying God will.

The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the greatest gifts God has opened my eyes to. And He did it again today:

My confessor exhorted to be a peacemaker, instead of focusing so much on winning an argument. In the 15-20 minutes before Mass, I opened up my bible, stopping first at Psalm 51, one of my favorites. Then I flipped over to the Book of Matthew, and came across the Beatitudes: blessed are the peacemakers.... WHAM!!!!

Talk about having a great day!!!
