Perhaps others may not yet be beyond forgiving, for understandable reasons--the terrible grief that has come to someone they love and their own family through a murder--forgiveness is a process and there are many who can't seem to allow this grace into their terribly broken lives. That's partly why we're here.<BR/><BR/>There may be other reasons...the climate of our time when there is such a separation between people who are in touch with the poorest and most neglected and those who are not--who can understand in part why things fall apart for so many who are in the wrong place at the wrong time or commit an act out of youthful craziness or a terrible moment of evil passion? <BR/><BR/>The violence of war revving up more willingness for violence of the State --those who want more executions in many states back again--as well as other kinds of frustration-related crime, lack of gun control, more drug traffic? Others will have other answers in time...and perhaps you will happen upon other answers on these pages--also go to the links on the right column down from the archives.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps our Founder, Bill will comment a little more at some point-- although right now he's grieving for Rachel King and getting prepared for the funeral. He may not be able to add his answer until next week.<BR/><BR/>All the best and thanks again for the encouragement...<BR/><BR/>Peace from Connie, blogger on The Journey of Hope blog...all the best on your blog...<BR/><BR/>PS let us in on how we might find your blog , would you? maybe send it to us through newlease7@yahoo.comCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29488869.post-21517811584462678702008-08-29T07:26:00.000-07:002008-08-29T07:26:00.000-07:00I love your blog, starting with the title.
