From my friend Bruce...

"Living with regrets is like driving a car that only goes in reverse"  Jodi Picoult

Some years ago, I was reaching out to my college dorm mates, asking if they knew where a particular person was.  I needed to apologize to this guy.  I have been carrying guilt about an incident for years.

One of my college dorm mates, now a retired police officer wrote back to me and said, "Jeff, you are a pastor, you should know more than any of us the importance of forgiving yourself."

He was right.  I have done everything I can to apologize to the man that I hurt.  I even apologized at the time.  I should stop carrying this guilt.

Every day, every moment that you spend regretting something or feeling bad about something is destructive.  In effect, you are keeping your mind stuck on negative things so that you cannot be positive to the people that you’re around.

Sometimes we have to let a thing go and forgive ourselves and move on.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
