And my comment to the press that doesn't appear in this story:"As Michael Thomas' pastor, I respect a jury verdict, but I also stand behind a man that I suspect is innocent, has been thoroughly redeemed by Jesus Christ and has done an extraordinary job discipling his young family."

'Not called!' did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world. (William Booth)

Greg Flynn did include your comments in his on-air news story from last night. You can watch the video clip at the same place where the CL article is.
Bryan:
He did include some of my comment. Not all. And none of it on the 10 o'clock news.

Do you have a fund for support of the family? How can people contribute?
SST:
Thanks for asking about contributions. They can be made out to DaySpring Community Church (and write Michael Thomas in the memo) and we will get it to them. The church is beginning to raise support for them over the next four years. Everything is appreciated.
Matt
