Forgiveness – a step closer to healing


While the world has been talking about the 32 victims of Virginia Tech massacre, a college senior, Katelynn L. Johnson, has added a 33rd stone to the campus memorial for Cho.

And here’s what she says: "I believe his life had value no matter what he did. We lost 33 people."

Her stone was understandably removed but then somebody else replaced it with a second stone.

As of today, the stone still stands. She faced a few negative comments but here’s the shocking fact: She received hundreds of messages supporting her.

Katelynn, you have no idea what you have set rolling but there’s a lot to learn from that simple gesture of forgiveness.

The hurting world has a lot to learn from these young hearts that have chosen the road less taken.
