It's so easy to cast blame in this world of loan fraud and straw buyers and inflated appraisals...I've certainly been one to shake a finger at the ones who have caused so much trauma in the economy.
But when a dear friend's family life is completely shaken up because of mistakes that her spouse made, it changes your perception. He made his errors and will pay the price-and I can't say that I feel sorry for him since we all make choices in life-some good, some bad.
It's his kids that I feel for. They're small, had nothing to do with his mischief-and no matter what, they love their daddy to pieces. He's not a bad guy-he made mistakes and got involved in what looked like easy money. He's a great dad, a loving husband, and devoted as heck.
My heart is broken for all of them, as they figure out what damage the past is going to cause to the future. If you have faith, please say a prayer for this family. And remember that no matter what the folks in the newspaper story did (or are accused of), there are other lives at stake (so perhaps curb that tongue).
