well lookie at gov Sanford......can you say MLC???

[Dawn of Hope]

I confess that even though I am not a big newshound, I have been following the Sanford situation, and shaking my head over the classic MLC garbage that the governor is spouting. I heartily concur with what has been said on this thread so far, and have already been thinking most of it myself. Soul mate, my hind foot!

I hope Jenny Sanford finds this board. I feel sad and sorry for her and her children, as I do for nearly all of those who find themselves in the sort of position that we deal with every day on this board. She has a lot in common with many of us here, but at least most of us don't have to cope with having the national news reporting just exactly how our spouses have humiliated us, and how completely insane they have become. She is getting a lot of praise from the public for how she is dealing with all of this, and I suspect that many of us could take a lesson or two from her, even though she has not been at it very long compared to some here (well, depending on who you believe about the governor's possible past antics)...although probably it feels like a lifetime to her. She sounds to me like a woman with a lot of class and integrity, who is holding her head up and facing this horrible situation with the honor and forthrightness that her H is sadly lacking.

When I read about what the governor's reference to King David, I almost shouted at my computer, because I was thinking about the fact that David actually REPENTED of what he had done and acknowledged that it was SIN, and he needed to do some MAJOR work to get back on the right track. I think that was why God continued to use David in such a lasting and powerful way. The governor...well, I get the impression that he is giving it lip service in hopes that it will all blow over soon and somehow he can get everything he wants without actually walking through that fire. I mean...how many screws do you have to have loose in your head to not see that if you are going to be a politician who calls out other politicians for immoral behavior, you'd sure as all get out better keep your own house in order and keep your pants zipped? How stupid can you be? And to expect it not to become public knowledge how far you have wandered from the standard you held others to? Whatwereyathinking??? Oh, I see...you weren't. At all. And how long did it take you to figure out, and what are you going to do about it?

Okay, I feel better now. I know it's not my place to judge. But I am angry that more people's lives are being shattered, whether you attribute it to MLC, or insanity, or the devil, or anything else...

I am sure that God loves pond scum. I have not advanced to that level of enlightenment yet.

Peace,
