People of the Second Chance

Woke up this morning and checked my friends' Tweets... It led me to this and I'm glad it did.  I check Deadly Viper often and have read this before but I'm glad it was the first thing I read this morning.

This is me... and I'm thankful.

The People of the Second Chance is a community of individuals who advocate radical grace and second chances. We champion lost causes and think that a second chance is a human right.

1. People of the Second Chance are individuals who are fast to forgive. In a culture that believes in revenge and payback, we rebel with grace.

2. People of the Second Chance receive second chances in their own life. When we have experienced personal, professional, or relational failure, we refuse to be defined by our mistakes. We learn, we grow, and we have the courage to move on.

3. People of the Second Chance serve in places where people need second chances. We advocate for the vulnerable and fight for equality for the poor, the prisoner, and the voiceless.

These three values can be simply summed up by:
Give, Receive & Be the Second Chance.
