I just watched Dave Letterman's 'confession' on you tube and COULD NOT be silent about it. I encourage you to watch it and see if you draw some of the same reactions and conclusions as I did.
I'll wait while you watch it...
{sorry---CBS pulled all of the videos this past weekend}
OK, done? Here is what strikes me:
1. What in the world are we laughing at anymore? NONE of what Letterman had to say was funny. Sure, his delivery and mannerisms were comical at times {any good public speaker can pull that off}. But, I was struck by what the audience chose to laugh at and clap for. Are we that far gone as a society that the mention of a man having multiple affairs {and if that wasn't bad enough, it was with people in his own company/show] makes us LAUGH? APPLAUD? Really??? If he had sex with YOUR daughter, would you find it as funny? Your mom? Your wife? {Not so funny now, is it?}
2. Will Letterman have any mercy for those who have failed in the public eye from now on? Recent Top 10 Lists have been devoted to the moral compromises of recent politicians, leaders and celebrities. Does that stop now?
3. David Letterman needs Jesus in his life. He is a VERY funny man and, I believe, may be is one of the most talented men in his field. But, he needs a Savior. We need to pray for him.
Your thoughts?
