"He lifted up Himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground."

"And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst."

I immediately thought of this story from John's gospel after hearing about what you did. Jay, I think plenty of us can agree that at times we feel like we don't give ourselves whole heartedly to God and his son's teachings. But what you did for that man, and putting yourself at risk was truly amazing. Even if your boys can't understand you and your actions now, one day they might, and they will look back on that day they saw their teacher stand up for what was right, and perhaps do the same. I'm proud of you Jay... Erin

hey Jay, that sounds pretty scary. We are all really proud of you and what you are doing. You are doing a great job of living your faith. What happened to the criminal? Did they spare him? We will all keep praying for you and all your boys. ~cousin Bethy
