There’s something important to remember in the quest for strength and courage, and that’s a spirit of kindness.  Too often we teach our children the verse, “Be kind one to another” (Eph. 4:32 RSV), and then we forget the admonition as adults.  True forgiveness and kindness are cut from the same cloth; it is impossible …
