>> you say these types of actions lead to consequences. what do you feel the consequences should be for your sons? >> that's up to god to determine that. you know, i just -- i just pray for mercy. >> you keep referring to it as one bad moment. >> mm-hmm. >> there are people that are going to say, that is putting it mildly. they -- they attempted to -- >> it's not mildly. >> to do what they did? attack you as they did? that's a bad moment? >> yeah. there's a -- people who are incarcerated now that have had one bad day. you know. there are people who -- you know -- are put in certain situations to where, you know, rage or something has caused them to have one bad moment. that's why i keep saying one bad moment. i'm not discounting what has happened. i look at my wife, the scars, the things that happened. i look at me. >> your faith is remarkable. it's certainly been tested. so the final message, yvonne, that you want for people this morning?
