					<description><![CDATA[Thought provoking post, Anita. 

I love the mental image of the &quot;tiny un-elephant brain.&quot; Yup! That&#039;s me. Or, that&#039;s mine. *grin*

Good to hear from you. God&#039;s blessings to you and your family as you begin the Lenten journey.

That&#039;s great to hear, Anita. I&#039;m doing well, too. Thank you. Adjusting to the cold winter temps here. Sure are pretty wintery sunsets, though.]]></description>

The book sounds interesting, Anita. I love your wisdom in stating that sometimes we have to &quot;cut the chain of grievance(s)&quot; more than once. Wise words. Hope you&#039;re doing well!]]></description>

Thank you, Angela. R. T. Kendall has a book called &quot;Total Forgiveness,&quot; which was influential to me. He says that to forgive we need to bless those who have injured us (since there&#039;s a cognitive dissonance between blessing and being vengeful). Forgiveness is a fascinating subject. It&#039;s partly linked to our faith in God, and in God&#039;s creative ways of making things work out for good.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I didn&#039;t know that about elephants, Anita. What a statement - &quot;All it takes for him to be free is to gallop away.&quot; The idea of forgiving and receiving life is a paradox, but such an important truth. Thanks!]]></description>
