Dave Butler, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, recently started a fundraiser for the family of Thomas Jacob Sanford, the shooter and arsonist who last week killed four people and burned down a Mormon church in Grand Blanc, Mich. It has raised more than $150,000 so far.

Butler has no connection to the church in Grand Blanc, he said on a GoFundMe page — "but James teaches us that 'Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.' The purpose of this GiveSendGo is to do that. Every donation will go to help provide for the Sanford family daily needs, provide for ongoing medical treatment, and create some stability in a time of heartbreak and upheaval."

Comments on the fundraiser are beautiful, full of prayers and Bible verses and the greatest witness of Christlike love imaginable. Hundreds of people have done, through their prayers and financial generosity, what Paul instructs in Romans: "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn."
Human pride weighed you down so heavily that only divine humility could raise you up again. ~Augustine of Hippo

Well, at least you're not a bigot.
