Living biblically

[jennythereader]

One of my favorite passages in the bible has always been Matthew 5:38-42. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a site that would let me link directly to the verses I wanted. They're near the bottom of the page.

Today, NPR played an article from StoryCorps that shows that passage in action.

From the article:
"Diaz told him, "Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you're going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm."

I usually loathe Story Corps, but that one was GREAT!

Story Corps's quality is erratic enough that I don't listen to the podcast, but stories like this one really make up for a whole bunch of bad ones.

That's a really incredible story - I'd like to think I would have the grace to do that...but I'm not sure I would!

Wasn't it great? I'm not sure I'd be able to do it either.

Let's keep it to a guessing game and not find out the hard way.
