In loving memory.

One year ago today this website was launched. At the time I din't realy know how it would be used. I initially thought it would be a great way to post what is going on in the family but of course later it became primarily used as a way for me to post greetings for birthdays and other significant days. When I added the forum, this website became a place for us to keep in touch. That is now the primary use of this website. I have now added a gallery page. That is a place for everyone to post their pictures and videos. You can also post songs in the gallery. I am hoping to see the gallery used more now.

The first post on this site was a picture of Stephanie and her soon to be born babies piggy bank and the Savannah banner Sue made. The first post recognizing a birthday was in February. It simiply said Happy Birthday Lisa. Since then, the birthday wishes have evolved to more interactive videos and shout-outs. Some have been well recieved and others have been pretty much ignored.

Below is a list of the top 30 items viewed on this website. Thank you all for participating and making this the best Family Page ever.

John 20:23
"Whoever’s sins you forgive, they are forgiven them.
Whoever’s sins you retain, they have been retained."

Those sins which are committed against us Christians are also an offense to God. In the sheep/goat judgement of Matthew 25 the Lord will bring judgement on such things. But if we forgive others of their sins against us, then the Lord will also. But when it speaks of retaining sins (which means holding back such forgiveness) it implies that doing so is appropriate at times. Though that verse doesn't specify when it is appropriate. That subject is covered in other verses like the following:

Luke 17:3,4
So watch yourselves.
"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents,
forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day,
and seven times comes back to you and says, ’I repent,’ forgive him."

Notice the condition of repentance here.

Matthew 18:
15 If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault,
just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
16  But if he will not listen, take one or two others along,
so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17  If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church;
and if he refuses to listen even to the church,
treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

19  Again, assuredly I tell you,
that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask,
it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.  (Xref John 20:23)
20  For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there I am in the midst of them."

21  Then Peter came and said to him,
"Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"
22  Jesus said to him, "I don’t tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.

Notice here that if we just read verses 21 and 22 we may get the impression that Jesus is speaking of unconditional forgiveness. But if we read it in context starting from verse 15 we won't have such a misconception.

Notice also the relationship between verses 19 and 20 and John 20:23 concerning forgiving and retaining sin. As Christians when we forgive those who sin against us, the Lord also forgives them for those particular sins. But for those which we refuse to forgive, the Lord will also not forgive those who offend us of these.

Colossians 3:13
"Forgive as the Lord forgave you."

The Lord's forgiveness is not generally unconditional. It is generally contingent upon repentance.

We also have the apostle Paul's example of disciplining a sinning Christian of 1Cor 5,6. He is forgiven in 2Cor 2:7 only after he repents.
