One Hug

Sometimes it takes just one hug to get things moving in a good direction.  That was the case during a recent Nazi rally.

When Aaron Alex Courtney heard about this gathering, he quickly decided to head on over.  This African American football coach from Gainesville, Florida was intent upon decreasing the distance between racial factions.

Courtney therefore hugged one of the Nazi demonstrators.  While doing so, he asked: Why do you hate me?  When the man didn’t answer, Courtney persisted.  Although feeling

quite angry, he decided that this Nazi “just needs love.”

Courtney then asked the Nazi to hug him back.  When he finally did so, Courtney “heard God whisper… ‘You changed his life.’”
