Letters: Forgiveness remains among best of traits
Around the world, religious leaders challenge their members to resolve their difference and be peacemakers. However, it seems to me, they cannot do the job alone. Individuals like you and me have a role to play as well. I'm afraid many people today have lost faith in the importance of practicing forgiveness. To have good dialogue with our neighbor or family is a starting point. In our lives, we should work for peaceful settlements and show forgiveness. I'm reminded of the touching story of forgiveness that took place in the Lancaster County of Pennsylvania, on Oct. 2, 2006. Amish men and women took a stand for forgiveness after a gunman killed five young girls at a school house. What was most impressive about the Amish response to the heartbreaking deaths of their children was the way that these peace-loving Christians reached out with support to the widow and children of the gunman.
Rangers serve notice with sweep
The New York Rangers entered the 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs as one of the bottom seeds in the East, but they also came into the postseason as one of the NHL's hottest clubs down the stretch, winning eight of their last 11 regular season games and posting a 13-3-4 record in their last 20. The Rangers finished up the 2006-07 campaign as one of only four NHL teams to earn 30 total points since the Feb. 27 trade deadline. .
