He actually did give me an example of a wonderful husband and father who killed his wife months after she left him. He just fell apart and couldn't handle the loss. According to his kids, he had become a different person after the separation. Pastor also mentioned that he's dealt with unfaithful spouses that you would never believe could do such a thing, but they do. Nothing really surprises him anymore.
Maybe it's just my pea-sized brain not being able to get around that example, but, he's not a really good man then. No one is perfect and we all have our moments of darkness. But not one of us has the right to take a life - ever - or for that matter harm a person intentionaly. Ever. That, to me, shows an existing flaw in their morals and ethics - or the local term we use here is "they just ain't right".
Can you imagine meeting someone on an online dating site and they reveal they had a moment of weakness and killed their exspouse? But it was a really tough time and a long time ago. Sign me up - I like danger. And I have guns, so I'm all good. (sorry - I'm jaded - but most people scare the bejeezus out of me).
Through this process that brought us all here - I'm pretty sure each person can tell you of at least once, maybe twice that they were driven to their knees. Yet, they did not hurt/kill anyone - that's a good person.
Gardner - so sorry for jumping in here, beating up on WII and not acknowledging you. I hope your brother finds the grace in his wake up call and his family supports him in this opportunity. Remember you can lead a horse to water and all that - if he 'got it' then your support will be welcomed - ride all a$$es with caution.
