I have been following the articles published by Christianity Today for some time and found the ones on the Westboro Baptist Church and pastor Fred Phelps very enlightening. I came across the article (find the link below) about his son today and read it with great interest. After I read it, I decided that I needed to pass along the link to it so that you could read it also. John has been talking in his first letter about the power of love. This article shows that love in action. I hope that you will take the time to read it and let me know what you think. I will continue posting, of course, but this article illustrates better than I can describe the power of love to change and to heal.

Reminds me of the song in “South Pacific”, “You’ve got to be taught”.I sensed he is still feeling a great deal of pain from his upbringing, but you have to admire the strength it takes to go beyond and into healing. Probably the hardest thing about forgiving others is that it’s really not about them, but about releasing our own hurt, pain, fear, and even hate, so that it no longer can cantrol us.
