When I was twenty-five, the car I was driving was hit head-on by a drunk driver and I was in hospital with a broken and dislocated hip for almost eight weeks.  While I was recuperating I decided to go Court to see the the trial of the driver who had caused the accident. He had been drinking for twenty-four hours at the time of the crash and this was not the first accident he had caused while under the influence of alcohol.

I was surprised when a letter was read from his church minister in support of the driver, saying what a good man he was. I didn’t find the Court proceedings satisfying. I wasn’t sure the Judge had all the facts. I couldn’t understand how a minister would give the impression that this was a good man.

​As children we have a sense of what is fair and unfair. As adults we seek justice. And, if we believe in God, we expect God to be just.
