And the verdict is????

So of course today is RAVENS Purple Friday!!!!!!!! I decided to wear my Ray Rice jersey to work. This is not my first time wearing it. The first time, I was hesitant because I didn’t want anyone to say anything to me, or look at me funny. I quickly got over that. I sat and thought what privilege do I have to pass judgment on someone I don’t know, more importantly who am I to pass judgment on anyone at all?

Just for the record I don’t condone violence at all. Let me be perfectly clear on that. However I also don’t condone Double Jeopardy.  In case you don’t know what that is here’s the definition (you all know I love the dictionary lol).  Double Jeopardy “forbids a defendant from being tried again on the same (or similar) charges following a legitimate acquittal or conviction. In laymen’s terms if they did it once and got their punishment or nonpunishment then they can’t be punished again for the same thing.

When I look back over my own life I’m reminded of all the times I’ve made a mistake or done something wrong and then turned around and did it again. Man keeps records of that will, write it down and stow it away to throw back at you at your weakest point.  But then I think about God’s mercy and how many times He's given me not just a second chance, not just  a third and a fourth and a fifth and a…..should I go on.  With all the mess I’ve done, if He can forgive me and forget what I’ve done shouldn’t I be able to do the same, even when it comes to myself? But I’m only human and the only thing I can do is continue to try.
