Forgiven Quotes
-
You cannot stay the shell in its flight; after it has left the mortar, it goes on to its mark, and there explodes, dealing destruction all around. Just as little can you stay the consequences of a sin after it has been committed. You may repent of it, you may even be forgiven for it, but still it goes on its deadly and desolating way. It has passed entirely beyond your reach; once done, it cannot be undone.

That like him, you need to be forgiven.

I'm talking about adults. JamesOn made a bad, bad mistake. It was out of character. But he's admitted to it. He's never run from it. He's answered every question about it, and more than that, he's been a great kid. I mean, let me tell you -- he is a special, special kid.
