Pastor Rick Warren Blinded From Eye Burns, in 'Excruciating Pain'

[Mons Venus]

Mega-pastor Rick Warren has sent out a Tweet revealing that he was blinded in an accident that has left him without sight and in "excruciating pain."

The full text of the Tweet is all that is known for now:

"My eyes were severely burned by a toxic poison. Hospitalized Mon. Excruciating pain. Now home. Pray my sight loss is restored"
Little else is known about the condition of the globe-trotting evangelical leader, though it appears he is near his home in Southern California, where he pastors the Saddleback mega-church that he founded 30 years ago.



First Glen Beck.....now Rick Warren.

Warren’s Saddleback Church, which explicitly bans gays. So much for Warren’s courage in embracing tolerance.

Rick Warren wouldn't know a gay or lesbian if they stood right in front of him.

OPPS.....

On one unusually freaky new years eve as a youth, I did manage to *misfire* and end up with some in my own eye.  She thought it was hilarious and yes, I was blinded by it, no doubt about it.

My wife says Warren and Beck are OD'ing on Viagra.

Rick Warren experiences vision loss; doctors expect full recovery

MISSION VIEJO, Calif. (BP)--Author and pastor Rick Warren experienced some vision loss during an accident at his home Monday but is expected to recover fully, a spokesperson for his church says.

Warren was in his yard pruning a firestick plant when a substance from the plant transferred to his hands and then to his eyes, causing what he labeled as "excruciating pain." His wife called 911, and he was transported to a Mission Viejo, Calif., hospital, where his eyes were irrigated. He stayed overnight but went home Tuesday.

Warren sent out a Tweet Thursday asking Christians to "pray my sight loss is restored." That led to various rumors that he was blind, which is not the case, Saddleback Church spokesperson Kristin Cole told Baptist Press.

"There was a little bit of temporary vision loss because the cornea was damaged," she said. "... That's a part of the eye that will restore itself, so it's in the process. His vision seems to be OK right now. He is still in pain and discomfort but it's not nearly as severe as when it first happened.

"The doctors are expecting a 100 percent recovery."

Warren described the pain as a 12 on the 1-through-10 pain scale. He was given protective contacts and eye ointment.
