A post by brother Steve about his experience in Litttle Rock, Arkansas brought to mind a very famous picture from that time. I do not remember if I had posted this before and if so please forgive me.

The picture was a turning point in the life of a young lady that day. I wonder if we could see the reflection of our faces sometimes if we would change? The players here are Elizabeth Eckford and Hazel Massery. Young Elizabeth was one of the Little Rock Nine, chosen to intergrate Central High School that year. Only, when all the others went to school that day, she was given the wrong time. Here she is seen walking in all alone and terribly afraid. 

There is one young lady, among many, spewing venomous hatred that day (Hazel Massery, with mouth wide open) and the moment is frozen in time. The story is told by her that the picture itself convicted her soon thereafter. She wondered just why she felt so much anger at another human.

According to her, she felt so much shame, she sought out Eckford some years later and asked for forgiveness. They are friends to this day. My God is an awesome God! One of the good stories that came from a turbulent time in our history. But God is able!
