The Governor and The Kiss of Death

Last week I saw in the news a U.S. governor who went missing but it turns out he had an escapade with his mistress.

It reminded me of my previous blog entry, "The Kiss of Death". His affair probably started out as flirting, and look where it brought him.

In that governor's life, Proverbs 6:32-33 came to pass:

But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.
Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.

Just like former US President Clinton brought shame on his nation and himself for his shameful acts in his office with a White House intern, this governor brought shame on his State and himself. Of course President Clinton's case was worse because what he did in secret was known to the entire world, with matching DNA evidence. But that doesn't make the governor's case any less sinful.
