"Mrs. Betty Bowers' Words of Christian Concern for Ted Haggard's Delicious Disgrace"

http://www.bettybowers.com/nl_nov2006.html

I've come across her stuff before. I wondered was she for real or just someone parodying a Baptist Christian lady. LOL...

After hearing this news of course i was doing the "and another bites the dust" tango but I reconsidered and thought "now that is not the right attitude (queue the rousing music) it would be uncivil of me to kick a man when he is down, so lets hope this fellow has the courage to get up, pull himself together and confront all his demons honestly and turn this into a healthy situation for everybody as we move (finger pointing) INTO THE FUTURE!!!!!

so reverend brother something or nother, i founf these inspiring words from the pen of Ray Davies (more Muswell Hill excitement) to help through this time of depression

so here it is
After the Fall

just had a really bad fall
And this time it was harder to get up than before
I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared
I cried out "Can you help?", it replied "Not at all"

After the fall is over
You'll be on your own
After the fall is over

There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone
There'll be much to clean and time to atone
But while it's dark you can shelter here
In the bleak midwinter when you're feeling the fear
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again

A life's gotta have direction
After the deals are done
You gotta ask the question

Ask yourself why you go through it all
When morality kicks in, who will catch you when you fall
I'm a sinner waiting at the traveler's rest
Seeking refuge from the storm, and I'm a grateful guest
And a prophet cries out in high platitudes
I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through"
And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move"
Even at the gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a queue

Seems like I'm falling upwards
Into the great white blue
And all my imperfections

You can learn your lines and fabricate a show
But the way we come in, yeah, that's the way we're gonna go
We cheat and lie to conquer our fears
We can put on a smile just to cover up the tears
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again

After the fall (after the fall is over)
There'll be a better day
After the fall is over

So I fell on my arse, now I'm feeling the pain
But the feeling will pass and so will the shame
The bigger the ego, the bigger the fall
When your reputation counts for nothing at all
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again

I will greet you when the sun shines again
After the fall (after the fall is over)
There'll be a better day
After the fall is over
