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,

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.
