Clemency

Last night we were watching "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind" about the love between Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) and the whole story revolves around about memories and how sometimes we just want to erase our memories that will remind us about a person or an event that would be just too painful to bear. There was this scene about her name not just once but twice. I remember Joel saying that "Clementine" thats a nice name Clementine it means Clemency, Merciful. Now as I understand why he doesn't know the song when she asked. Well you have to see the movie for yourself to know.

Last night I was also thinking about conspiracy theories and how the universe conspires to unfold as things are now unfolding before us.

I was a bit surprised that this morning's reading contain this verse "who is there like you, the God who removes guilt and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance; who does not persist in anger forever, but delights rather in clemency"--Micah 7:18.

The prodigal son is the Gospel today. A story about a Father and his two sons. It is really not mainly about the return of the younger son but it is more about the mercifulness of the Father.
