Amish
September 14th, 2007
I have a lot of respect for the Amish, they live tough lives with integrity and love. My old housemate/coworker and current mate Wes has interesting stories about the great little things they did. How they looked out for the community, both Amish and non-Amish.
Some of you may remember a while ago that there was a shooting at one of their schools were 5 students were shot, and if I remember correctly the gunman shot himself. They extended grace and forgiveness to the widow by giving her some money.
Many from Nickel Mines have pointed out that forgiveness is a journey, that you need help from your community of faith and from God … to make and hold on to a decision not to become a hostage to hostility.
