When did we become judge, jury and holier than though. Michael Vick went to jail and did his time. Now that he has signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, the whole world is protesting. At what point are you forgiven and absolved of your crime? At what point have you suffered enough? At what point are you allowed to support your family financially?
We all bow our heads, bend our knees every night and ask for forgiveness. Yet, we fail to give the same grace to others. Michael Vick hung on the proverbial cross for the sins of his many friends. The same friends that participated in the crime took deals and sold their friend down the river. Why didn't they also go to jail? I guess only the millionaires and high profile ones have to serve time. Ever heard of a woman named Martha Stewart? Why did she go to jail?
So many of us call ourselves Christians and our brother's keeper. We need to "stand" by each other and not "step" on each other. We all fall down, but it's how you get up that matters.
For all those who are without sin...disregard everything above.
