Enough Rope with Andrew Denton was interesting last night. They had the former KKK leader in the USA, Johnny Lee Clary, on the show who was interviewed in a Signs magazine from last year, and it was funny, because I knew all of what the guy was saying, having read the article *lol*

Still, it was very interesting, particularly now that the ex-KKK guy is a pastor and has come to accept and love people of all races and backgrounds, almost totally due to an old black pastor he met at a public debate about race. The way that the old pastor was always kind to him, never retaliated even when they burned his church and threatened to kill him and always found ways of showing God's love to the people who hated him was amazing. Definitely a very real representation of Christianity in action. And by that I mean real Christianity - where you actually do turn the other cheek and welcome and love people genuinely. And it's pretty brave of Pr Clary to be so active in civil rights following an exit from the Klan.

Okay, it might sound corny, but I think God really does help people to turn their lives around. And it can be really quickly, too. Like one day you can be doing stuff like that, and the next day God will tap you on the shoulder and say, 'Hey, how about we do things my way instead?' and it all just clicks into place, like it was always meant to be that way. Which it was, really, if you think about it :)
