Wow, two posts in one day…whoohoo!
Actually I’m sticking to my promise of posting a good news story every Friday.
Read this:

DALLAS – A decorated Vietnam veteran convicted of rape 25 years ago became a free man Tuesday after a judge ruled he probably wouldn’t have been found guilty if DNA testing had been available.
Specialized DNA testing performed this year proved Larry Fuller, 57, was not the assailant who raped a Dallas woman in her home. Fuller has spent about two decades in prison for the crime.
“My faith was tested and I won,” he said, trembling slightly as he left the courthouse carrying two worn paperback Bibles.

What is truly amazing is that when the Judge, who was not involved with the original case, apologized to Fuller for his wrongful imprisonment, what does he say?

“Thank you,” Fuller responded. “Apology accepted.”

Yeah, his faith was tested. And by his actions we see that faith. Glory to God.
Now as Christians, we understand what it means to be freed from the prison of sin. That is where Christ finds all believers and declares us not guilty of crimes we actually HAVE committed. This story reminds me to thank God for His graciousness toward me, a sinner. It also leads me to doxology:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise him all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly hosts; Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen!
