Well, Angel,
I'm glad the guy turned out to be a transcriber, and I'm glad you can
forgive him, neverless, as you said in effect, he is not about to be your
best friend. Also, that still doesn't mean he can't or won't do that kind
of thing again. I'm so very sorry that that had to happen to you and your
daughter.
Yes, in spite of all, we have to pray that if there is anything that God can
redeem and use for the good out of a situation like that, that He will do
soAll in All, we just have to give it to the Lord, and be thankful to Him
for any good that came out of it.
In my case, I had to forgive someone who caused us to have to leave our
home. I can't go into details, but, as I am sure you have learned,
forgiveness is as much for us as it is towards the other person.
Forgive my rambling.
Vinny
