What would Greg do?


Oh man, check this out. An Erie, Penn. woman has been arrested
for hitting her boyfriend... with HER BABY! Now sure, on the face of
it, this sort of crime is pretty reprehensible. It's easy to despise someone
who does something terrible to her own baby. But sometimes, there
is a deeper darker story behind these crimes. I'm not talking about
setting this woman, Chytoria Graham, free and erecting statues to her,
but there can be room for compassion on all sides. After all, we don't know
her or her baby. This really isn't personal to the vast majority of Americans
who will read this headline, gasp in horror, then scream their outrage to
anyone who will listen.

Trust me, there is a lot of sick shit going on in this world and as nasty
as it might be, one woman snapping and using her baby as a cudgel probably
doesn't even come close to making the top 1000 let alone the top 100 worst
things I've ever heard.

Let's be like Jesus, people, OK? Just a little bit. Jesus knew that having sympathy
for all God's children was the way to get to Heaven. Judge not. Show some
compassion. Reserve your scorn and judgment. Love will set your heart free.
