How True

This was the auto-generated quote on my igoogle page.

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people. - GK Chesterton

How true is that? I'll tell you. Once upon a time my old neighbors robbed and vandalized my home in excess of $20,000.
What's weirder yet? I offered the 19 year-old boy a seat and coca-cola while I called the police. Then sent his younger brother home to fetch the mother. Then held her in my arms while she cried. But truly the hurt was hers not mine. Mine was only material. Hmm. Didn't know I was so biblical.
