This week, an armed man entered a Waffle House and opened fire on patrons of the restaurant. The patrons scattered in an effort to protect themselves from the gunfire - all but one. James Shaw, Jr. was not ready to die or watch others die. He wanted to keep an eye on the shooter, so that he might have a chance to survive. When the gunman lowered his weapon to reload, Mr. Shaw charged him and wrestled the gun away from him, burning his hand on the still-hot barrell. The gunman escaped but was later apprehended and arrested. It gave me great peace to know that after the incident, the place that Mr. Shaw wanted to be was in church. Praise God for his quick thinking and his willingness to risk his life to save others. I wonder where he learned that. Click here to hear his story.
