Just because we know what’s right doesn’t mean that we always do what’s right. That’s called sin.
Just because we sin doesn’t mean that we’re relieved of our obligation to defend what is right. Rather, our continued obligations to defend what is right should help bring us to repentance.
Mr. Sanford did what was wrong, and he knew it. His sins didn’t relieve him of his obligation to distinguish between right and wrong, and to defend the right. Rather, his continued responsibilities should weigh on him to impel him to seek forgiveness and firm purpose of amendment in his life.
I agree Sanford should seek to right his wrongs. As a SC taxpayer, I want him to amend his ways while not being paid with my tax dollars. I would have some respect for him if he gracefully resigned. He turned himself into a national laughingstock and needs to get off the national stage. We in SC will end up with a big spender Dem as our next governor thanks to his thinking with his male appendage instead of his brain.
