I love it. You really sucked me in there with the list and had me going. The last line came completely out of left field and made me laugh. Such dark humor.

Comment from Tim Margetts
Many truths in a short flash piece.
Understanding and suspending judgement are I think so important.
If He doesn't judge us, then by what right do we judge others.
I was always taught to hate and fight the sin,not the sinner.
This is a rule I try to live by.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Carol Clark2
Great list of helpful items, except for the cutting off the head part! LOL. Love your humor! Yes, walking away might be safer. Beginning with prayer is the best solution. God still works miracles. Prayers for your journey of reconciliation. We're on that journey also. Carol

Comment from Gayla putnam
This is the best philosophy I have read. I want to mail it to a neighbor who has reached the final phase after number ten. Very thoughtful, humorous, and wise. I'll post it on my refrigerator, as I'm not a saint. gayla

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Ha ha! This was so measured and such a well-considered to-do list I was trying mentally to absorb all the excellent advice and wonder if I would ever have the patience to obey the rules when you hit us with your finale. And even then it took me to the very last line to savour the punchy conclusion, when all else fails. Excellent, Don! What style you have! Take care Debbie

Comment from Sarah Probe S.
thanks a million for such a powerful message full of purpose for the world: forgiving is a very hard thing to do, loving your enemies even more challenging,
If everyone was following this biblical message, there would be no wars,
I hope you win the faith flash contest,
God bless You,
Sarah

Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is a fine post, written with thoughtfulness. This seems like a good entry for the contest prompt. I guess the one I found most interesting was this one: 7. Accept your enemy: Accept your enemy for who they are and try to understand their motives, even if you don't agree with them.
Suggestion for punctuation and wording on the first paragraph section:
After doing some soul searching, and research I came up with a to-do list that may get you and I started on the right path. A direction that may change the situation and possibly make us feel better.
I would try:

Comment from Julie Helms
What a great topic! Especially during this season of high tension and division.
One of the things I do, and probably the most effective for me, is to remember Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
People are used as pawns by dark spiritual forces, so if I direct my anger toward the true culprit, I'm able to have more sympathy for the human being used.
Two edits for you:
I came up with a to-do list that may get *you and I* started on the right path.
(you and me...to test--if you remove the 'you' you can hear it better.)
complement something about their dress
(compliment)
Thanks for sharing the great faith-based article.
