No Good Deed Goes UnPunished How many people have I turned away from or spoken their names in dishonorable ways after they had reached out a hand to lift me up? I can not count the number. As this journey with Christ goes deeper and deeper and the ill-fated ways of my past continually show up in the Gospel it is like a cleansing is taking place.
