All I can say after reading through the posts is that perhaps there really
is a part inside of Bill Clinton that is yet tender enough to let God touch.
It is true that his actions denote the furthest of this but yet again who
again are we to judge. If we all look back at our own lives we too would
find ourselves just as him. No we were not presidents and no we haven't done
some of the things he has but the fact is that we were sinners just as he
is. It is not a matter of who done what wrong it's a matter that we ALL need
the Lord. There are things that he has done that has flamed my spirit true,
but I wonder how many of us would be the same way if we were in his
position. It's like how we sometimes want to condemn Adam and Eve for being
foolish enough to disobey in the garden, yet somehow I can't pass away the
feeling that I probably would have the same thing if I were in their shoes. 

President Clinton needs our prayers not our contempt. We don't have to love
the sin we have to love the sinner. And more than anything we must always
hold to the hope that somehow he can be changed. When we let go of that hope
then what reason is there to pray any longer? And if there is not a hope in
prayer then what are we all here for?

Just my $0.02
