Beating up isn’t a good thing.
I’m trying to stay honest in my writing and move on.
The writing of amends is to heal me.
Years ago when Charles Colson was “born again” and decided to follow Jesus, he wrote many such letters from prison.
Thank you for bringing up Charles Colson. He said one of the best things I’ve ever heard about Christianity:
“I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren’t true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn’t keep a lie for three weeks. You’re telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.”
