Her story is definitely not done. Carrie has an opportunity to use this for a positive. Hypocrite you say? Absolutely. But, I must remind those of you with scriptural knowledge about the people that God used to reach others so that they might trust and obey him. Examples:
David - adulterer, murderer, also known as a "Man After God's Own Heart"
Abraham - adulterer, but also the "Father of All God's People"
Moses - murderer, but also known as the "Deliverer of the Ten Commandments"
Paul - murderer of Christians who went on to lead people to God (author of much of the New Testament)
Peter - denied knowing Christ, yet Jesus called him "The Rock" or the foundation of the Christian Church
The list just goes on and on...
How many of you look at porn? And if you were to be ousted on this site, would you want to be thrown out as many of you are with Carrie? You wouldn't believe the measures that I have to go through to keep those temptations that I have struggled with for years. My wife knows my struggles, and there's no amount of apologies or efforts to erase my past or the hurt that I've caused her.
How many of you are cheating on your spouse or gf/bf? Are you to be thrown away as trash because of this, or is there still good in you. I tend to believe the latter.
We are all HYPOCRITES...democrats, republicans, and independents alike. Yet, there is still good in ALL of us. We just have to determine whether or not we want to shrivel up and crawl away, or own up to our mistakes (like Carrie is doing), learn from them, and move on to make an impact in other people's lives.
Carrie's decision to speak about this, knowing full well the roasting that she will take from the media, website blogs and such is likely to stop some 15-17 yr. old girl from making the same mistake. And who knows what that same 15-17yr-old might become with respect to being a public figure.
Can we at least come to an agreement on this?
