My birth parents were both married with children at the time. But quite honestly, having been raised in an adoptive family with white carpet, white walls, and everything made to look too nice and pretty all for show, the truth was a little unsettling. I've been asked if I am ashamed of how I was brought into this world. What I struggle with is how deeply my birth parent's selfish choices (lust) have hurt many loved ones that still struggle after all these years to find forgiveness in their hearts. And instead they have unintentionally taken it out on me--the innocent child. Peter,

I think it is disrespectful to one's spouse to openly gush over a famous person. As for a "freebie"? YUCK! That kind of attitude gets on my nerves, too.

He told the story of his daughter coming to him and saying, "When you least deserve love is when you need it the most." And that is God's grace for all of us. When we least deserve his love and forgiveness is when we need it the most. And it is always there.

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:01:07 +0000 http://blog.hafchurch.org/peter/?p=1892#comment-3665 Great post. You know, I always get a little miffed when people (especially married people, but it's no good for singles, either) gush and lust over famous people. Do they think that because they're famous, they're not really "real"? It's not really "sin" because it's a movie star? I know a married couple that once told me they had an agreement. If he ever had the opportunity with Angelina Jolie, and/or if she ever had the opportunity with, um, I can't remember who, so >insert hot guy here<, that would be their one "freebie." No questions asked. Adultery is permitted with that one person. I'm sure it was all a joke, but the intentions were not... Great post.

I didn't have time to write an article on this today, but yours reminded me of something my friend said: "We are ALL TIGER WOODS given the right opportunity and without The Holy Spirit." I've got to agree. We can very easily judge someone for their faults, but what we don't realize is that it could very easily be us. Enjoyed the post Peter.

And like Jason said... it's so easy to convince ourselves what we're doing isn't really a big deal, because what someone else is doing is 'so much worse'... I'm guilty of this far too often! Thanks for these thoughts. I completely agree, Peter.
