You know there was a time when I would have judged this man quite harshly.
Don't misunderstand, I do not in any way condone his actions, but now I
realize that the devil can make us do things we never thought we would do!
I will pray for this man and his family! I would imagine that this pastor
hates what he has been doing! Just my thoughts for what they are worth!
Virgie and Hoshi
