Wonderful ,thoughtful post. We all should reflect on the Beatitudes more often, for in them is centered the Christian life we are to lead.

Poised woman, I agree, Freepers are not often merciful, and I am sometimes guilty of that myself, especially on the politics threads. It is funny as that is the one verse in the group that I repeat to myself most often.

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Yes, we can be mean on politics. But look at the wonderful threads we ran on Terri Schaivo and another with more than 5,000 prayers for a premie baby in TX. Freepers can be an astonishing force for good. I love us, warts and all.
