On Forgiveness

On Monday, in San Diego, a U.S. Marine Corps F-18 jet crashed on to the home of Dong Yu Yoon, an American citizen and immigrant from Korea. Inside the house were his wife, whom he calls "a gift from God" and their two daughters, aged 15 months and two months. His wife's mother, who had come from Korea to help with the babies, was with them. When the jet fell on them all four were killed.

Today Dong Yu Yoon asked that people pray for the pilot of the plane, who ejected before the crash and was not seriously hurt, "I know he's one of the treasures of our country," he said. "Pray for him not to suffer."

A similar thing happened in Oregon earlier this year. You never know when something is going to fall out of the sky and end it all.
