Price of Unforgivness

I was listening to Dr. Dobson's progam today and you can also if you go to www.family.org and hear the testimonies of the tragedgy that happened in Colorado Dec 2007. It was about the double shooting at the church and missions place.

The father of the shooter said his sons unforgivness is what led to the shootings. To hear the grief of this father and mother is heart breaking. He is a neurologist and his wife is also a professional. They talk about how important prayer was to them to get through what they have experience as well as their other children.

The family that lost two of their daughters plus the father was shot tell their story of how it all went down. The grief of the father learning his daughters death while in the hospital.

These families grief is still very raw as you can imagine since it has only been about three months since this happen.

I pray God will give both of these families peace.

Not having children I can only imagine the horror of a parent to try and comprehend a child doing something so contrary to what they had been taught all their lives.

Being a parent I can have a little empathy, but not going what they went through, it is impossible to fully comprehend thier tragedy!

It speaks of the power and love of God that both families could meet together and discuss it.
