Man, I think we can learn a lot from this guy.

He's actually a pastor in Oregon, and his daughter was one of the victims of the shooting that happened there last week.

Now, she survived, but they were asking him about, can you forgive the shooter?

And what I was thinking about was less about Oregon here than about us in general,

because we all have people we need to forgive all the time.

And if you don't right now, you will probably by the end of the day, because that's us humans.

But he said, it's easier if I think I don't have a problem with the person, but I do have a problem with the evil that has overtaken him.

And I actually think that that's the way Jesus looks at us. Like when he was on the cross, he was saying, Father, forgive them, and they don't know what they're doing.

What they're doing was evil.

But we can acknowledge that there's some of the spiritual going on and still forgive the person.

And I think this can happen with, personally, I think this can happen with anybody in your life that's driving you crazy or has done something horrible to you to help you forgive is to keep that in mind.

Like, there's something spiritual that's happened and it's wrong and it's evil, but the person you can still root for.

I see other radio stations and other like online things.

They're always doing health tips.

And I'm like, why can't we do that?

We can.

We don't have a doctor or anything here to.

They're not doctors.

Okay.

They just post stuff like study shows and they don't even understand the methodology.
