No doubt we've all heard about the recent Amish tragedy. What I just heard that is surprising, is that many of these people showed up for the "shooter's" funeral. I wish I could be that forgiving and humane, especially to those who completely lack these attributes. Jesus said "let your light shine before men, that they may see your goodness", (or something like this). One characteristic of light is that it is not selective. It won't shine more on one person, than another. Dave

Dave, I don't know of anyone who heard about that tragedy and couldn't admire the strength of forgiveness. Truly their light shined bright for the world to see Jesus.
