7. I was impressed by something a while back.

A man had his wife and children in a buggy, and was rear ended by a car, going very fast, while the driver was texting. The driver was convicted of a crime, and did serve time for it.

But what got me was, the father wrote him a letter some months on. It was filled with concern for his well-being. Nothing more.

I'm not that big of a person. I don't think I could do that. I'm impressed when I meet believers that walk the talk. They are easy to spot.
