What if my Daughter got Murdered?
I would like to think I could do the following, but I don’t know if I could:
Unlike typical reactions to dastardly shootouts of this kind, the Amish have joined the family members of the gunman, Charles Carl Roberts IV, 32, in their bereavement. Roberts had committed suicide after killing the girls in the one-room school. The community has already announced it is forgiving Roberts for his act. Roberts is survived by his wife and three children.
Quoted from Mourning Amish seek private funeral for girls killed in school shootout on The Earth Times. Evil people claming to be christians often dominate the news, it is reliving to hear that real christians still exist. I hope I can evlove my thinking to be able to forgive such an act.

You said exactly what I was thinking, but couldn’t put in words. Their level of…compassion?…is refreshing, and incredibly soothing as well.
