Oh, maybe you're not in the pigpen yet. Well, don't wait until you hit the wall at the end of a dead-end street. And even if you have, head home. You will find a Father running to meet you and to clean you up and hug you. http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2009/10/15/should-forgiveness-be-unconditional/ 2009-10-15T14:36:07-05:00 Should forgiveness be unconditional?
