Dear Mark Sanford, STFU
Governor Mark Sanford cheats on his wife, abandons his state to escape to an adulterous rendevous, drives South Carolina into a nasty battle over stimulus funds and now all of the sudden he’s relying on God to get him out of his latest mess. If there was a candidate for a smite-fest, he may be it.
How come, after he is caught cheating on his wife, he’s calling on God to help make him right. Why didn’t he call on God when he was tempted to cheat on his wife and say, “Oh Lord, help me. I got an exotic with a really nice ass that I wanna ball. Help me be good, Lord. Help me keep my vows and not be a cliche middle-age white man politician, Lord.”
God is not a convenience store, you dickhead. You just can’t use God as a “get out of jail free card.” When you walk with Christ, you can avoid temptation in the first place and when you are confronted with temptation you can rise above it. (Or so I’ve heard…I usually steer right towards temptation avenue on my way home from the Harris Teeter)
Yet again, I have to remind people that yes…I am better than other people. I am better than you Mark Sanford. I am a better person than you are. Is that un-Christian-like? Oh well, I’ll ask the Lord to forgive me for being so thoroughly better than you are. There is something that you can never call me that you will be forever…a cheater.
Think it’s cold at your house, Mark…come over here to my house. You’d freeze your cheating balls off.

Awww.. you’re a little hard on him. People fail. Christians fail.
But I am reminded of the verse where it talks about beseeching the Lord in private instead of in public… You remember that verse….
