Not to brag is one thing; not to apologize is quite something else, for someone who purports to be a "Reverend."
The wife of a very close friend of mine had an abortion when she was a 19 year old college student 30 years ago.
She prays, and has EVERY SINGLE DAY for the last 20 YEARS, for God's forgiveness for making that decision.
My friend says she has told him that she has never been able to look at their two children, now grown, she later had without wondering what her aborted child would have looked and been like.
She is generally a happy, cheerful, positive person who's a joy to be around. But as my friend says anytime he looks at her and for no apparent reason she appears pensive, sad or depressed he knows exactly what she's thinking about----her baby that never got a chance at life.
