Thank you for explaining the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. It’s important to understand the difference as we encounter all kinds of situations in our day to day life. I’m deeply sorry for the entire Frisco community, particularly the family of the murdered child. That’s a grief that will be so difficult to endure. My prayers are with them.
Thank you for writing this...my grandson was at the meet (a participant) and was about 40 feet away from the stabbing. He knew Austin even though they went to different high schools. His 2 brothers, also twins, knew both Austin and Hunter because my twin grandsons attend the youth fellowship group at Hope Fellowship. They had that special connection of both being identical twins, and the same age. My grandsons have been profoundly affected by this tragedy. They too attended the service at Hope Fellowship that night along with my daughter (their mom).
My other daughter has known and is friends with the dad, Jeff, since 2002 or 2003. This is incredibly sad, but forgiveness is the first step to healing. Thank you, David, for your beautifully written journey in faith and healing.
I would be very interested in hearing from you about the developments since this stabbing. It is excruciating to think about this family and what they must be going through seeing all this. I’m sure you would place your faith in justice- obviously, that’s not the hill to die on. It seems like salt is being poured into their wound every day.

I’m thankful for your words, Patti. Your grandson will have a lot to get through.

Forgiving is hard. But it helped me when I asked God to forgive the young man who murdered my beloved uncle, my godfather.
This comment took my breath away. So sorry. So sad. And I'm very glad you found the strength to forgive.

Thank you for these powerful words.
The father is weak and in denial, just like Cannon Hinnant's father.
