Mr. Fred…
Darn – People are still talking “bad” about Lee only after a year of being in jail.
QUESTION: What is your solution for the girl that hears his name every other day in school?? What is your solution for the girl who has to walk down a different hall way so she can avoid other classmates saying “his name” when she walks by. What is your solution for the girl who can not ride her own bus because she hears “his name”. Please explain this to me.
This will not go away. We can not even go a day without thinking about it because we have other students remiding us everyday. Or just because there are certain roads we can drive down anymore. It has nothing to do with healing and moving on with your life. That just is not possible.
I’m sorry and I don’t mean to be harsh but I can not have any sympathy for Lee Holmes. Lee Holmes is not the only one that has to deal with “issues” everyday of their life.

Continuing in prayer and interceding for my brother in Christ, Lee Holmes. I just must say that nobody can judge anyone else because God said all sins hold equal weight in His eyes. That being said, I am not defending him but still feel that people continuing to bash him is unfair. He is paying his debt to society.
And don’t think that I’m saying this heartlessly because I have prayed for the young lady as she has suffered too. BUT . . . I pray for Lee too and that he be safe while he is absent from our society and that God continue to speak to his heart and move him to improve his life.
If God can forgive anything, why can’t we as a society? Come on people, It is time to forgive. Don’t forget, but forgive him and allow him to still reach toward the calling that God has on his life.
