I knew my whole life was in disarray. There was no question in my mind. I had to change. My entire focus was, I had to change. Saul is to be commended for his straightforward actions.
Most domestic offenders blame others for their actions, choosing to live in denial.
Saul enrolled in a program with the focus of changing his behavior, making amends to his wife Rivkah and their children and with a serious eye on his court date several weeks away. In actuality, this is where we are today in this week's parsha. We are a few weeks away from appearing before the eternal Judge. Like Saul, we have time to make amends to relatives, friends and enemies and to change our improper behavioral patterns. We can view our medos now, six weeks in advance of our court date and take corrective actions.
