When someone breaks out of their mold and confesses past mistakes and attitudes (who the hell doesn't have that??? (I only know of one, the Son of God)) then we are to forgive them of past transgressions.
And everyone of us are guilty at some point in our measly little lives.
I for one totally get it, and it's so refreshing to see someone actually open up to the vulnerabilities and put everything out in the open: congrats for that.
Now it's time to move onward and upward, massive good luck and blessings to you Joe.
Semper Fi!
Thank you! Taking one step at a time.
