Forgiving Others

Kaci L Koltz says: "There is something inside you. You can't always feel it, but it's deep within you, festering. There are times when it moves to your brain and you almost go crazy. Sometimes it lies in your belly and digests you. If you can't get rid of it, eventually you will feel its effects in your physical health.
What is it? What is this canker that so easily destroys us inside?

It's anger. It's hurt."

What do we do about it? Tune in Tuesday March 9th at 7:00 PM Mountain time for this discussion.
