AP, as you probably know, I can really relate to your feelings about this situation. Also your signature line. I prefer to hear someone’s feelings of rage and vengeance out in the world rather than for them to hide those feelings away so that they sneak out in “invisible” ways like it was among the women in the family I grew up in.

I used to think that phrase “’Vengeance is mine’, says the Lord” meant that I wasn’t supposed to feel vengeance, that it wasn’t my place, it was up to God. But I had a thought of another way to look on that when I read your blog post. What if it means that when wrongs are committed then God is on the side of those who are justifiably outraged. Then vengeance is God’s, too.

Anyway, seems like you’ve done all you can to right the wrongs that were done to you. I hope that you CAN rest in peace about it, in time. Because I agree with you – what goes around, comes around, and that’s another way to look at God taking on the task of vengeance.

I also hope you’re not offended by my use of the word “God”. I’m actually more comfortable the term Higher Power or universe, but I just stayed consistent with the quote.

Take care.

He gets the blood but I get the glory.

Sounds good. :-)
