Comment:	Edie, I felt a devastating loss when Kevin disappeared. Now that I have his music back I'm so happy. Worship soars like before. What saddens me is the adultery of course, and since having seen the mighty fallen up close myself, I have some idea of the time and work involved in restoration. Christian therapists who specialize in adultery will tell you that it takes decades for someone to look at the sin and to slowly inch out of denial enough to be willing to look honestly at the devastation, let alone to have the capacity to repent with true sorrow. If he is remarried to someone he defiled his first marriage with, or has had only 2 or 3 years post divorce to process it, ( which I don't know concerning Kevin) I lack trust in the decision-making team. I know nothing about Kevin's troubles. I just know others very well who's oversite were in too much rush to fix the fallen ministers feel a miserable loss of purpose in life. More than restoration, the church needs the fear of God, not an 'it happens' attitude. There are sides of the story. Often not the spouces, other leaders or all the children involved are helped. It happens that ministers are so intent on restoring fallen people quicker than they are capable of coming to grips with the whole, enormous loss and how widespread it can ripple. Have you ever heard of spouses and families left behind being provided 3 years of ministry and grief help? Any? People recover if they don't first act on suicidal thoughts, or use substances and sinful paths to their own destruction first. That's pretty common for kids left behind by wandering dads. Those kids can lose they're sense of belonging when their dad brings shame to the ministry that those kids helped support. It's really quite a bit bigger picture than you have possibly experienced. Still I hope and pray that Kevin's process is complete. We all need it to be so. Sincerely, Deborah Babbit
