I read a story in the Dispatch today that literally brought me to tears. No, it wasn't from any of the coverage about the shootings in Aurora -- that tragedy is worth more tears than our country can possibly shed. It was another front page story, this one below the fold, and it was about the power of forgiveness. The tears that streamed down my face as I read the article were out of profound wonder and humbleness of God's grace.
Perhaps, in a way, the tears were about Aurora and Columbine and Oklahoma City and Virginia Tech and Fort Hood and all other horrific, senseless, human-instigated tragedies of this world.
Forgiveness doesn't excuse, but it does have the power to change lives.

What a small world! Tom Hayes was Joe's cousin. What an incredible testimony!
