Step back and pray that all involved will ask the Lord for forgiveness. I grew up with Matt and he is a good guy. We all have light and dark in us. It all depends on what we let shine. All are good with the potential for bad. He made some wrong choices and man has condemned him for 5 years. The Lord still loves. I pray that he will turn his life over to the maker of all. What's 5 years compared to eternity.
