duke iv was really good and it seems like the chapter has matured a lot. we had a christmas party and it was really fun seeing everyone again. we talked about forgieness and had a discussion during large group and there were a couple great things spoken to the chapter from students. particularly about not letting things simmer and just talking to people that weren't a part of the problem.
anyways, right now i am kind of angry. at duke parking. they gave me a citation. i was awak for a couple hours last night. because i was so angry. i know with the whole night, iv was talking about forgivenss, but all i could think about was finding the security guy who ticketed me and slashing his tires or breaking his windshield. yes, i know, not good but ah i was just so angry because i parked in what i thought was a legitimate spot, but arg, duke parking.... anyways, they only have my registration number but i havent registered this car with duke, so idk if i shoudl take my chances and hope that duke doesnt have jurisdiction to send a ticket invoice to my house if they can find my info, or try to appeal it and tell them who i am. unfortnately on the duke law website it specifically says that they rarely grant appeals. basically i dislike duke parking because they are buttholes and i would like to key a duke security car. sigh, not good anger. besides getting a citation isnt the worst thing in the world.

thanks for sharing this, man. If anything, start with God's love and how all of us are infinitely indebted to his mercy. Don't stick with that guilty feeling, though, because God's love washes all of that way. Instead, just take a step back, take a deep breath, and just lift up all of this to God and ask Him to forgive you and lead you out of these feelings. S'ok mate!

Matthew 18:21-35 check it out!

Also, as hard as it is, God wants you to forgive others so that you can accept his love more. Trust me, you'll feel better when you let go (:
