The priest recedes into his sanctuary

I presume, father Harris, that you have attained now, this technical prowess to keep me from commenting on your life.

I would like to apologize for my previous outburst, and I want you to know that I in no way blame your daughter for your sins. Certainly every child is a gift from God, albeit and undeserved one. I would never in any way threaten that innocent girl.

My concern here really is for her, and that is why I think you should consider the possibility that as much as you love her, trying to raise her as a single old man with no motherly support but a whore might not be the best thing for her. My suggestion is that you think of her best interests, and out of love to her, give her over to a family who is complete and who is more capable and prepared to raise a child. There are many who would be wonderful parents for her, even in our own church body. Please, for her sake, don't be selfish and ruin her chances of a complete life.

The Sins of Our Father

It is no little degree of trust that a flock places in its shepherd, the children on their spiritual father. He is responsible for teaching, leading, counciling, and protecting his congregation from the tides of cultural corruption, from the wolves of the world who would denigrate and destroy the honor and integrity and spirtual vitality of God's followers.

Now hear me, I am not throwing the first rock. I don't consider myself a shining beacon of perfection. But I am not a priest, and my integrity IS intact. The first stone was throne by Jim himself when he threw away years of serving God and man to satiate his own lust. When I think of the times I have had him into my house, the times he played with my children...my throat gets tight, my breaths short, and there is a burning in my eyes because that fraud spent decades burrowing his hooks into us before destroying everything.

I am a sinner, I know that, and I need to be forgiven again and again, but by God never a filthy whore. Now he is paying for his fall. Now and forever.
