Greasy Grace

I have an American buddy from Syracuse. He used to have a band called Zoa. Kind of a blues rock deal. Amazing guys. Mike is now and always was a pastor. He used to talk about "greasy(pronounced Greeezy) grace. Greasy grace refers to easy forgiveness. You know, thinking that a quick "I'm sorry" after hurting someone makes everything okay. Cause and effect doesn't come into play. The concept of consequence is foreign, as well as that of responsibility.

If we are to make a difference in this world, we need to own our stuff. Without excuse, just own it and be willing to deal with the consequences, whatever they are. Respect comes from walking with integrity. It is earned not given with a title. Not these days. So let's do it the old fashioned way. Let's earn it. Do not defend wrong positions on anything. Speak to what is right and take responsibility.

Don't settle for Greasy Grace. Because when it is all said and done, everyone still feels like they need a bath.

Peace,
