PITY THE PREACHER'S WIFE

PLEASE SPARE us any more articles on the hypocrite preacher from Henry County who is starved for attention.

I truly believe he is going through his midlife crisis and needs to boost his ego. I feel sorry for the 16-year-old with whom he's involved. When she matures, she will realize the mistakes she has made.

I pray God will deal with this man's heart and he will repent. Only then will he make it to heaven. I am 23 years old and have never heard anything so repulsive. I pray for his wife. I'm sure she's having a rough time putting up with this devil-blinded man. RENA C. JENNINGS VINTON
