It's a good thing that Mark Sanford has God on his side. In his acceptance speech Tuesday night, the former South Carolina governor told us that he was "saved by God's grace." He wanted to "publicly acknowledge God's role in all of this," and he said that God spoke to him and said, "Not that you'll win but you'll learn." Sanford spoke of a "God not just of second chances, but of third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth chances."
Uh-oh. Sounds like we're in for more hikes on the Appalachian Trail. A God of first and second chances is one thing, but after that you're on your own.
Or are you? When you can so easily pull God out of a hat and wave your magic God wand, you can get away with anything. Especially in the Bible Belt where God and sin go way back. Sanford knows his constituents and knows his God talk, and God didn't let him down.
