Thank You! This is a beautiful way to look at our lives in comparison with others and how we can improve our thinking and judging others. Blessings! Roberta Briggs

In the 19th Century there was a book out of LC-MS "Law and Gospel" by a Professor Walter. There is not grace without law and law without grace is judgment. Freud and Young came later. Whether helping out those in grief or general counseling or listening to a sermon, I often wonder where is the darkness? It loves to hide in our psyches or the "happy slappy" of just praise worship or in our blame projections of others. This is a wonderful article in my opinion as it keeps the issue of "the shadow" in front of the readers. It is our personal shadows that are forgiven, things known and unknown. It is a personal issue, a family issue and a national issue with lies at the center. Pastor Don Marxhausen, Retired.

Ordered the Book. I first have to finish the 800 pages of max Boot's "Reagan."

Great read about a likeable failure. Gave us Fox News and the culture of the "LIE."

But then that has been present since the Garden of Eden.
