I had to fall on my knees in prayer several times this week because I thought I was falling in love with Kim Davis, that poor wretch that has chosen to be jailed rather than back down on her faith in the LORD GOD. I guess my love for her started when I saw how kindly she treated people as she broke the laws of man. She wasn't mean to them, even told them to have a good day. If you're going to break the law, shouldn't you do so in a Christlike manner?
I think so.
But then as my love deepened, I learned she has 4 failed marriages. I tried to rationalize it by saying well, it was probably the men's fault: all of them out there committing heinous acts of adultery, when they have this obvious prize waiting on them at home. Shameful. Shameful and hurtful. I wept for her as I imagined her sitting at home, reading her Bible, praying and pleasing God in every way, while her four husbands were engaging in unspeakable acts of lust with their secretaries, coworkers, bartendresses, or housekeeping staff. Still, I am reminded that we are to follow the laws of man while on this earth and know that the GRACE OF GOD will see us through to Glory.
Maybe it's because I am still without a suitable wife and the choices in NY City are poor - oh, sure, I could marry a harlot before the ink is dry on the marriage license - but why can't someone like Kim, only without the 4 husbands and being in jail thing, come my way? Is the LORD punishing me for my prior papist ways, forcing me to be celibate until my soul reaches Heaven?
Still, I trust in HIM, for I know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I've committed unto Him against that day. Oh, Praise the Lord for such hope; such a wondrous Savior we serve.
So Kim, I won't be coming to Morehead, KY, but I will one day come to the gates of GLORY, where my mansion is waiting next door to Jesus.
I think so.

Heaven knows, God will take care of her as He sees fit. I hope He decides to take her to the Kingdom of Heaven soon and let her rejoice in the lap of Jesus.
