Time and Redemption

I went to look up what the time difference is in France and Spain and it is 8 hours ahead of us here.  That got me thinking about how convenient up-to-date information is across the globe so I looked at the weather in Santiago and it is 52 degrees and cloudy with a chance of rain.  It was, of course, mid-day there when I looked it up.  I am able to post the temperatures anywhere on my desktop so I now have my hometown, this town and Santiago, Spain weatherbug's on my desktop.  For the record it is 29 degrees here today as a comparison to the weather in Spain!

I have been thinking of redemption lately and what a wonderful concept it really is.  If one truly works hard enough one can completely change the way they are, what they do, and how they interact with people.  It is possible but it is a long, hard road to redeem oneself.  I suppose there are different levels depending on how deeply one needs redemption.  For the most grievous the road is difficult, but once committed to the path one can complete it in time.  I am on this road of redemption, this I know.  I may not know what I am seeking to redeem, but I do know that I want to change my life, the direction of my life, and come out of this experience with a new outlook and a stronger sense of self.
