There was a terrible tragedy a couple weeks ago in the town of Cheshire, Connecticut. A home invasion resulted in a nightmare for Dr. William Petit and his family. After the two intruders beat Dr. Petit unconscious, they raped and murdered his wife and daughters. They left him for dead, but he miraculously escaped from his burning house and survived.
The cops captured the two men they believe are responsible. They were caught fleeing the scene, and are now charged with the crime.
My thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Petit as he tries to put his life back together. The big question I'm left is: How can this man ever forgive the two guys who did this? This would seriously test my faith. Forgiveness at this level just doesn't seem possible, and I pray that Dr. Petit can find peace in his life. I should also pray for the criminals, but I just don't have it in me.
God help us all.
