If Christ died for us and we just let go of that impact, what good would his death do? We are all tied together by emotions, some emotions worse than others. I feel like what your friend was specifically thinking of is grudges, and you're so right about nostalgia. It gives options for good feelings and healing and reflection, but it shouldn't become someone's reality. Reality is now, the present, with hope for the future found in Christ :)<br /><br />Also, sorry for just visiting your site for the first time. I've been real busy and rarely am on the internet. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't exactly been moderating my blog either. <br /><br />Miss you!
