With all the coverage and exciting things happening regarding Ted Williams, the former homeless man with a “God-given gift of voice,” I didn’t feel it necessary to blog about it. Until now.
I saw a comment on the wall of a Facebook friend that started out innocent enough. It simply read, “It is so good to know that homeless radio announcers are in demand.”
Then came the follow-up comments. “Bet you could not get hired if you had that many felonies…(OR ONE) He is a freaking criminal drug addict. Who cares if he has a remarkable voice?”
Wow!
After reading that I was reminded of the word grace. I was thanking God for forgiveness and being the God of second chances. I was praying for this person with the bitterness in their words.
God specifically tells us not to judge. He also tells us to pull the ginormous log of wood out of our eye before we tell our brother to do the same, according to Matthew 7:1-5.
Just a reminder, and to myself as well, I better clean out the skeletons in my closet before I point out the bones in another man’s closet.
What second chance are you grateful for?
Have We Forgotten The Skeletons In Our Closet?
