When I am in my office, I read two daily inspiration books. Each one takes about 2 minutes to read. The first is by Max Lucado and it is called "Grace for the Moment", the second is by John Maxwell and it is called "Leadership Promises for Every Day". Anyway, I loved today's verse and message from "Grace for the moment". Here it is:
Repentance is a Decision:
Romans 2:4-"Perhaps you do not understand that God is kind to you so you will change your hearts and lives"
No one is happier than the one who has sincerely repented of wrong. Repentance is the decision to turn from selfish desires and seek God. It is genuine, sincere regret that creates sorrow and moves us to admit wrong and desire to do better. It's an inward conviction that expresses itself in outward actions.
You look at the love of God and you can't believe he's loved you like he has, and this realization motivates you to change your life. That is the nature of repentance.

Well said. Oh, and great take on the JGR and the 20. stuckonthe10.blogspot.com
Thanks! That hit the spot. I was sitting here being angry at my son's summer school teacher. How ridiculous of me! I really should cut her more slack.
