This is the repentance event: facing what has been done and acknowledging the pain one has caused to others. And doing so without excuse. Having had to make things right with God, with my wife, and with my family, I then had to stand before fifteen hundred friends who now knew my worst secret and account to them. Today it is hard to believe that Gail and I walked through all of that. But we did, and it has made all the difference in our lives. Suffice it to say, I understand repentance. It gave me my life back.
