May God have mercy on us! Yet another case where we let our hatred out weigh our "turning the other cheek". The DC sniper, John Allen Muhammad, has been sentenced to death. He's clearly a man in need of God's redemption. How do we help him find that if we've killed him before God has had a chance? Here's an article on the subject.

I've had a thought a number of times, that I don't think should be wrote down as dogma quite yet, but is at least worth considering: What if God grants forgiveness and eternal life to those lives were cut shorter than He intended by the state? Maybe in God's mind, if the person wasn't given the full chance he was supposed to be given to find Him, he automatically inherits the kingdom.

I'm not sure what I think about that thought, but it sure makes me pause and think some more. Thoughts?
