My question is this: Is Jesus not also weeping over our judgmental/critical attitude towards Todd?? Does not the Bible tell us to restore such a brother gently considering ourselves lest we be taken in a similar fault?? Therefore, it would be far more beneficial for us to pray diligently for Todd than for us to openly criticize him. After all, Jesus did NOT stone the woman caught in adultery but He restored her and told her to go and sin no more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956173110733260952.post-75617119216452004472008-09-20T23:40:00.000+01:002008-09-20T23:40:00.000+01:00Good point.

I was rung up by a local paper for comment on something unrelated to this blog... and what ended up published bore only the most tenuous relation to what I'd actually said. That is, it seems, the media. All we can know, I suppose, is that the kids are stuck in a horrendous situation... and that,as Ruth says, that deserves some concern.gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780471237127876432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956173110733260952.post-28286323882866696102008-09-20T13:10:00.000+01:002008-09-20T13:10:00.000+01:00Thanks for this.

But note that <A HREF="http://www.qaya.org/blog/?p=650" REL="nofollow">according to Todd as reported by Rick Joyner</A> it was Shonnah who refused all contact with Todd, not vice versa. So she, not he, is to be blamed for any separation between Todd and his kids.<BR/><BR/>If Shonna really doesn't know where Todd is, that could be because she is making no effort to find out. Or she may have more sense than to give information to reporters and so sensibly said that she didn't know exactly where he was at that very moment. I can imagine the phone conversation:<BR/><BR/>"Can I speak to Todd please?"<BR/><BR/>"No, he's not here."<BR/><BR/>"Where is he?"<BR/><BR/>"I don't know."<BR/><BR/>"Can I interview you about Lakeland?"<BR/><BR/>"No."<BR/><BR/>Sound of phone being slammed down.Peter Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395635409427347613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956173110733260952.post-72404502487276050552008-09-20T03:13:00.000+01:002008-09-20T03:13:00.000+01:00I hate that the press never even cares about the k...I hate that the press never even cares about the kids.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797146501548509911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956173110733260952.post-48962963520012265242008-09-19T22:30:00.000+01:002008-09-19T22:30:00.000+01:00I agree.

I really would like closure in regard to this whole mess, however, I don't know that I will fully receive that this side of Glory. <BR/><BR/>But I agree with you. There are some kids left behind who definitely need their daddy.Natrimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425916896906652992noreply@blogger.com
