Forgive Him Father

On Monday afternoon, a man who's motives will probably never be completely understood, walked into an Amish schoolhouse and executed five little girls.

Today, four of those children were buried, and the families of the victims asked all of us to forgive the man for what he'd done. They even requested that a collection be started to support the family he left behind.

I tend to give Christians a hard time, but I've always respected the Amish. This is more than turning the other cheek, it's what Jesus would have done.

If only we could all see the world like they do, maybe it wouldn't be so messed up.
