Forgive
We gather this
weekend for Nexus and even though
registration is closed, we can add a few
more if you haven't signed up yet. The keynote
for the day is
Bud Welch. Bud's daughter, Julie
Marie, was killed in the Wednesday, April
19, 1995 blast that destroyed the Murrah
Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK. He
talks about his journey from rage and
temporary insanity to seeking forgiveness.
