Mercy For Spitzer

I don't think it matters to Mr. Spitzer if I personally forgive him or not. He needs to ask for God's forgiveness, his family's forgiveness and learn to forgive himself. No one is without sin-we know this. He is a human being who made some very bad choices and along with those choices came some very serious consequences-many of which are yet to come. The good news is-it has been said that those who reach their bottom will then and only then ask for help.
