An Update

My mom felt like I was too harsh on Mel Gibson.

So, here is an addendum. I do believe in forgiveness. Not forgetting (just think about if we forgave those that crucified Jesus and then forgot about the action!) but forgiving. I also believe that we all make mistakes and we should be responsible for our mistakes because that is part of learning from them. I also believe we should pray for one another especially those that have made grievous errors in life.

Have I forgiven Mel, yes, Jesus calls me to do that. Did he learn from this mistake? I surely hope so. Only time will tell.

One point that I hope I made in the last post and still make here is that when you put so much of yourself into a project you also assume responsibility for that. When Mel Gibson made The Passion of the Christ he brought the word of God to many who may not have been exposed to it. Part of Christ's passion is John 13:34-35. In fact, that passage comes right before Jesus tells Peter that Peter will deny him three times. Mel needs to remember that with the privilege to tell this story comes an awesome responsibility. That is to live its message.

God Bless You Mel, I hope something like this never happens again.

And God Bless You for reading this and hopefully learning something from it!
