A quotation from Millay, Edna St. Vincent

So up I got in anger,
And took a book I had,
And put a ribbon on my hair
To lease a passing lad.
And, “One thing there’s no getting by —
I’ve been a wicked girl.” said I;
“But if I can’t be sorry, why,
I might as well be glad!”

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) American poet
“The Penitent”, st. 3, A Few Figs from Thistles (1921)

A quotation from Pratchett, Terry

“And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”

“It’s a lot more complicated than that –”

“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes –”

“But they starts with thinking about people as things …”

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Carpe Jugulum [Granny Weatherwax, Rev. Mightily Oats] (1998)

#Luke 23:34: “Then said Jesus, Father, #forgive them; for they know not what they do.
And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”

Psalms 78:38: “But he, [being] full of #compassion, forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.”

1John 1:7 But if we walk in the #light, as he is in the light, we have #fellowship one with another, and the blood of #Jesus #Christ his Son #cleanseth us from all #sin.

#Psalms 51:7: “Purge me with #hyssop, and I shall be #clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than #snow.”

The word in #Greek for #forgiveness is #aphes which means to send away, leave alone, depart or release and pardon.

The word in #Aramaic is #shavaq which is the word used for divorce, the ending of a marriage as well as pardon.

In #Hebrew, the word for forgiveness is #chaphar which means to cover up or cover over and pardon.

#All these words have the idea of a pardon. In a sense what Jesus was saying when He said: “Father forgive them” was that he was granting them a pardon.

Genesis 6:5-7 King James Version 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. #weather #sin #bible #God

Mr. Innocent ...

Is former President Donald Trump freaking out? I mean, given the spate of legal actions in the wake of his questionable business and presidential behavior and the criminal investigations that have followed, it would totally make sense if he were panicking.

And a Thursday-morning flurry of social media posts suggests that he is no longer committed to the pretense of being calm, cool, and collected under the heat of legal scrutiny.

Let’s assume that — if you are reading this article — you are familiar with the multitude of legal problems the former president faces, not least of which is an apparent felony offense of being in private possession of classified and top secret documents outside the accepted protocol. It is a felony because, in 2018, Trump himself signed that into law. That’s right, Citizen Trump appears to have broken the very law that President Trump signed.

And Trump’s own supply of defiance and self-determination to get through these latest set of issues appears to be running dry. Or at least his public comments made on his own social media platform TruthSocial suggest that he’s not …. in a good place at the moment.

Shortly before 9 AM, Trump opened with the always effective opener, “Even though I am as innocent as a person can be,” before launching into some old conspiratorial chestnuts familiar to anyone who’s watched a Trump rally. He ended with the curious, “it looks more and more like the Fake News Media is pushing hard for the Sleaze to do something that should not be done!”
