I don’t know who the “pastor friend” is that supposedly declared Mr. Haggard completly heterosexual. But I personally know someone who was one of Mr. H’s counselor friends here in Texas and I can say that said supposed counselor has no theological credentials or training in professional counseling by which he could credibly make any such declaration, if he was indeed the one who made the claimed declaration. His declaration would be a mere opinion in order to please Mr. Haggard, perhaps with the intention of trying to hurry up the finalizing of the full resoration process.
I hope the best for Mr. Haggard and beleive that God is not done with him yet, as He is not done with me yet. But I pray that honest and complete full-disclosure and repentence is worked out in his life so that He will experience the peace and joy and righteousness that comes from the Holy Spirit, which only come only when we are honest with God and ourselves…

Thanks Karen. I agree. It seems that he is not willing to give up his platform so that he and his family can fully recover. My hope is that the Church will use this as an opportunity for needed self-assessment.

Very well written, Jeff. As a member of New Life Church the pain of this tragedy lingers, especially since Ted seems incapable of moving out of the limelight to focus on his healing. I appreciate your heart for the Church and your exhortation that the Body of Christ needs to accept responsibility for all who are impacted. Good job.

Wow…we ate that?

I will admit though…it was very appetizing. Now that I know you went through such a rigorous preparation, I appreciate it even more.

Next year you could fry the turkey…as was demonstrated by your clever neighbor.

It was delicious Jeff! and your rosacea cleared up before we got there. ) Besides… who looks at the turkey? My grandma’s turkey always looked good, but tasted like sucking on cotton balls. I promise yours was better – proven by the multiple requests for to go boxes.

Wow… what a well thought out comment addressing the issue with Tony Jones. I never heard about him until I saw somebody else blog about him. It makes me want to questions what books he’s authored and who the guy really is.

Anyways, I love your response. I totally agree.
