| Maybe He was on to something... |
I keep going back to that moment. The moment when Robert Rule, a bereaved father, broke Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer, the murderer of Mr. Rule's daughter. (Video here.)
Robert Rule's act is one of the most courageous displays of Christianity I have ever witnessed. Humbling and and terrifying and beautiful.
Humbling, because I've never had occasion to show the kind of courage that Mr. Rule showed. I don't know that I could muster it.
Terrifying, because --well, because, Lord! How could You have done that to this man?
And beautiful, because it shows us, plain as Day, that we are none of us beyond Redemption.
Paraphrasing the good Professor, while evil is evil, it may yet also be good-to-have-been.
Christmas approaches.
