monica lewinsky was on the cover of a magazine the other day. she is a person i have a great deal of sympathy for.

bill clinton escaped pretty much unscathed and has made millions from his book deal, speaking engagements and probable return to the white house as the first first man.

monica hasn’t had such a happy and rich road.

i am not going to condone her behaviour. i do feel sorry for her. i think of all the mistakes i made in my twenties and how lucky i have been to move past those dumb judgements and fairy fantasy endings i created.

how awful would it be if the WORST mistake we ever made in our lives was known worldwide and would never be forgotten?

the Bible promises us that our sins are wiped away when we ask forgiveness. i have no doubt that God is capable of forgetting our sins. it’s people that can’t. particularly the person who committed the crime.

what are the chances that monica lewinsky could meet a nice boy, take her home and have his parents excited about their son’s new girlfriend? pretty close to nil. no wonder she had to start her own business, who would hire her?

so that is why i feel sorry for her.
