It is not often that I hasten to my keyboard after reading or watching something in the news so as to provide comment. I don’t pretend to assume that my contributions to the ever-churning news machine matter all that much. But this was different. This was important. What occurred and what was uttered in that courtroom was, perhaps, one of the best instances of grace this side of the cross (besides, you know, the cross). I wanted to chew on this moment a bit more so that I, myself, might be able to savor it — and come back to it again in the future.
The face of forgiveness.
