the person in me

Ben and I were hanging with Herman over the summer and at the time he (Herman) had been beaten up by a guy on the street…his eye was all swollen.  I guess it really is dangerous to live on the street?

I was just re-reading my journal today and found a quote from Herman about the incident.  This is how Herman described his feelings that day…

The person in me wants to repay him…but the God in me wants to forgive him.

Herman may lack solid theology, but he has a way with words.  You gotta give him that.

I'm a family man at heart. I admit my world revolves around my wife Libby and our 3 hooligans...Eli, Eden and Silas. They are easy to love. I'm trying to learn to love the rest of you. I also like to ask questions.
