"I tell them that I believe forgiveness begins with understanding, but you have to work through layers to obtain it."

"We live in a blame culture where people now assume that if anything goes wrong you should sue."

"I don’t deserve forgiveness, but unless you can reach that point where you feel OK, you can never fully heal and move on."

"Forgiveness was not a word I used at first, but hearing the bitterness and anger I knew I didn’t want to go down that road."

"To be locked into a fixed attitude of retribution is to kill a child twice."
