Isn't it time to get rid of Al Roker. He looks aweful. I miss the days when people had some sort of decency and they pull out a TV before they started making us watch old people on TV. All you can think about is your health for goodness sake. You're not watching the news watching somebody die. The rule of thumb used to be after certain age you cut out with class. Nobody has class anymore and they surely don't make room for new blood. Sad

He didn't say a word about Jesus Christ when he spoke about forgiveness. Jesus is how we truly understand forgiveness. How to give it, especially when the person doesn't deserve it. This man doesn't seem to be a pastor, more of a self-help guru.
