Video Response

In a video we watched during class today, we witnessed a miracle. We experienced the life changing action of forgiveness. What happened was a young man back in 2003, named Eric Smallridge, was proven guilty of two DUIs and charged of manslaughter. He crashed into two 20 year old women, Megan and Lisa. He was sentenced to 22 years in jail. Then, after a few emotional letters here and back, Renee, Megan's mother, forgave him. She ended up convincing Lisa's parents as well. They all went down tot he court and demanded to cut Eric's time in half and was released early. Now from this experience, both of the families and Eric's mental and emotional health have been fixed and they feel like themselves again. This is a story everyone should learn from.
