What does redemption mean to you?
I am curious. How does a person seek redemption?

1. Send all your books of Green Stamps to the redemption center...
in return for a shiny new Sunbeam toaster.

2. Redemption has to do with self.. If a person makes a change for the positive
some will see the change, some will not. But the point is not those who do not acknowledge or see the change for what ever reason.. but the point is the person who made a change because they recognized they needed to do it for themselves.

That is my understanding of it.

3. Redemption requires admitting wrong-doing, asking forgiveness, significant penance and reform.
For example, as awful as she was, I consider Tammy Faye Bakker to have redeemed herself.

Jimmy Swaggart? Not redeemed.

Robert McNamara? Not redeemed.
