God Loves Scoundrels!

God loves scoundrels.  In fact, it's ONLY in taking a human life that God cannot accept in ANY person.  The world doesn't think this way.  The world WILL judge people based on character and what any person does that is either unethical, illegal, or immoral.  But in the eyes of God such character only matters so long as a person can live with his or her sins.  God does NOT wish for ANYONE to take his or her life regardless of reason for doing so.  God doesn't want anyone to take the lives of those who are his or her enemies.  Therefore, it isn't just important than a person choose life, but that a person chooses for his or her enemies to live too.  NOTHING is more important to God than human life.  The Lance Armstrong saga represents as perfectly as I can imagine that perfectly illustrates the Grace of God.  People are going to judge him for what he's done, but in the eyes of God, his sins are already forgiven.  He simply has to live with his sins.  This is what God wants from ANYONE!  No matter what we do in life, as long as we have not taken human life, God wants us to choose to live.  We choose to live with our sins.  ANYONE can judge us, but only each person knows in his or her heart how God feels about him or her.  I have said more than once that I am the LEAST person in the world to whom God would choose to send His Angels.  In fact, I couldn't live with my sins either and that is why I choose death over life.  In fact, knowing what I know now about God, heaven, and Angels, I WOULD prefer death over life.  But I live for a purpose that is not my own.  And if nothing else, Lance Armstrong lives to illustrate perfectly the Grace of God.  I can do nothing for anyone who has purposely taken human life, but the Grace of God extends to ANYONE no matter what he or she has done as long as he or she has NEVER purposely taken human life.  This is ALL that matters to God.  The Grace of God encompasses EVERY sin known to the human race, EXCEPT the purposeful taking of Human Life.  As long as he has not taken Human Life, Lance Armstrong IS forgiven.  Only HE has to believe this.  What ANYONE thinks or believes about him only matters to him or her, not to God.  Peace.  Brother Ralphie
