One of the members of my church also happens to be my Karate Instructor. Over the Holiday Season he was at the Christmas Eve worship service at our Church. After it was over he and his wife went home to open a few gifts.
When they walked into the house, a gunman who had broken into their home began to fire off shots in Mike's house. He shot a few rounds into the wall, and shot the fish tank. Water was all over the place.
The gunman didn't know that Mike excelled in the martial arts. He fired a few round off in Mike's direction and missed him. Luckily Mike managed to disarm this guy, and brought him to his knees by grabing this guys index finger and nearly snapping it off.
Mike told me later that of all of the guys that he has gone into competition with this guy was as strong or even stronger than any of them. He said, "I put that hold on his finger and it usually puts people to their knees and they don't get up. This guy kept trying to stand, regardless of the hold.
Mike said, "I had to do something, so I roughed the guy up a little bit and I was just about to kill this guy, because my training was taking over, when I remembered my Christian Faith." He got the guy down to the ground and held him there. His wife had by this time phoned the police, who came and this man was arrested.
I was absolutely amazed. I told Mike that I didn't think I could have stopped myself like that, especially since this guy had broken into his house and fired shots at him, his wife, and property.
Mike said, "That guy got a Christmas present that night, his life."
What would you have done?
