History is my favorite subject. I find it terribly exciting to learn about the figures in history, not just then when and what of their achievements but WHO they were as people just like us.

I'm slowly turning into an optimist, but it's a long process. I've always tended to be negative. When we understand God is working to accomplish his plan even in the midst of mankind's sinfulness, it makes it easier. And we sometimes have to search for that balance when studying history. Horrendous things have happened in the name of God, but that doesn't mean he is evil. The ideas worth building on and perpetuating need to be taught more than the monstrous ideas of murderers.

I'm a big fan of intentionally seeking the good from the past. I liked your comment "When I determined to think about the good, love, grace, and even joy fell out of tangled webs of distraction and guilt." You're right, it's all about forgiveness.
