Excellent post, Wendy. Just...excellent.

You are right - it usually takes maturity to handle the tough calls. Thank you for the exhortations in your last paragraphs. We just don't get enought of those.

oh that He would give us more Power for loyal allegiance to Him alone, the One who gives us our every breathe; that we could reject all fear of ones like us, who are but dust

I probably should not respond because most who read this will say "Well, that's not a very Christian attitude".

The guy who witnessed this should have used as much brutal strength as he could muster, thrown this devil against the shower wall and beat him. Then wrapped the child in a towel and carried him to his coach and invited the coach to go along with him as he reported it to the president and then call 911. That would have finished the idiot forever and gotten Penn State off the moral hook. Penn State missed a rare God-given opportunity to prove to the nation just how wonderful they really are. Which makes me wonder if they are, and ever were, the great institute they possessed to be. I think not. This could be a wonderful lesson to the nation as they watch how GOD brings this university down. Trouble is, few will recognize God's hand in this. God is still in control and we better not forget it.

!! Excellent. Thank you for sharing.

I recently came across a quote online (anonymous?) that I think applies here: "It's not who you are that holds you back; it's who you think you're not". As Christians if we truly find our identity in Christ then we'd live each moment knowing we have the Almighty Lord on our side... and we'd act like it! I totally agree that God calls us to step up for the poor and defenseless. He also gives us a model in Christ and empowers and enables us in the Holy Spirit! I pray that I'd know this more fully myself.
