Strength Of A God As I Open My Hands To You

So much to say, so little time to say it....wait who am i kidding i have no social life so i've got all the time in the world!!! (not that its a bad thing)

I started writing this blog last night, and unfortunately didn't get a chance to finish it, but now seems like a better time than any. I attended a Matthew Good concert recently and it was one of the most amazing things i've ever been to. But i wanna discuss something he talked about in between songs. Over a 20 years ago a canadian man was travelling in Montana where two young men were kind enough to pick him up and give him a ride. Unfortunately for the two men, the guy they picked up killed them and has been on death row for 20 years. Finally they have decided to give him the lethal injection which will be his demise. Now usually Canada asks for what is called a Clemency, meaning he would be returned to Canada to spend his life rotting in prison, but not this time. Canada hasn't asked for clemency because Steven Harper won't allow it. You might be asking yourselves why i'm making a big deal out of this but trust me i have my reasons. You see, if Canada lets this guy get the injection, it opens up the possibility of re-instating capitol punishment in Canada. Is this something we really want to happen? I understand that he killed to innocent men and that he should be punished, but killing him solves nothing. I'm sure the families of those men would be happy if he was brought to justice but this not the way. Everylife is important, no matter whose it is. We all have some divine purpose in the world, and unfortunately this mans purpose was to end up killing two innocent men. Not every apple you pick can be perfect. There's always a dark spot that you'll miss.......
