The Amish are Making a Stand

Monday was a horrible day in Lancaster County. For those who haven't heard, here's the story.

It's been awesome over the past couple of days to see the reaction of the Amish community. They've shown a lot of love. Often times the families of victims will express outrage and demand justice. The Amish have not asked for either of these things. They and their representatives have talked about how this was a part of God's plan. And they have stated that they have forgiven the shooter and that they're concerned for the welfare of the family he left behind. They're even considering diverting some of the recent aid that has come in to the Amish community and giving it to the shooter's family.

Continue to pray for the community, but also give thanks for the tremendous opportunity they have had to show God's love to others.
