Ted Haggard, Wife to Appear on 'Divorce Court'

I saw this in the news the other day. Can anyone say freak show? Is there no shame?

I'm not saying that is it impossible for sinners to ever amend their ways. Nor am I saying that it is impossible for a fallen leader to 'rehabilitate' himself and become useful to the kingdom again. What I am saying is that not nearly enough time has gone by for this former evangelical leader to be back in the public spotlight.

Earlier this week I saw former New York Governor, Elliot Spitzer, on CNN. He was humble and contrite speaking about his moral failures. Yet, does anyone think that he is fit for office? Furthermore I doubt that he will be able to make a living from his chosen career (law) anytime soon.

This is my advice for Ted Haggard - do us all a favor and just stay out of the spotlight for a few more years. In the mean time work on your marriage, care for your family, and continue to be accountable.
