Watching so public a display of Ted Haggard's fall from grace is sickening. I say this not because what he has or has not done, but of what his wife & children must be going through. The husband or dad you thought you had a week ago is no longer the same man and that is a heartbreaking reality. I can only imagine the fallout. And why didn't someone in his position, claiming to seek God, why didn't he speak to someone about his temptations, his struggles, his anguish before now... before his family has been humiliated.
Unfortunately, America will watch this man and his family squirm amidst their vulnerability and embarrassment in a vicious and voyeurisitc way enthralled that "the mighty have fallen." All I can think about is his wife and kids... it just makes my stomach sick.
