Spitzer

My Governor has resigned due do the discovery of his involvement in a prostitution ring. The response to this has been interesting, especially among republican minded Christians. Some, it seems, are quite delighted that their democrat enemy has fallen. Others take the 'there, but for the grace of God go I' approach. A great passage was brought up in prayer meeting last night. Proverbs 24:17 says: "Do no gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice." I think events like this our a clear cut way for us to identify our allegiance. If we are primarily republicans, we rejoice that Spitzer fell. If we're primarily Christians, we are saddened by the human condition.
