She should leave the marriage with exactly the same amount of money and assets she came into it with, plus any money that she personally earned via paycheck/investments during the marriage. Ditto for him.

gordon is one of the good guys. People like you is what makes this sport bad. You have to believe in your driver.

WOW! Imagine my surprise when I got a reply to a 7-1/2 month old post! I had to go back and read what I'd originally said that got your attention!

First, I'm not really much of a NASCAR fan, but Jeff Gordon is one driver that I noticed because of his convictions and public display of those convictions. When the news of his marital problems surfaced publicly, all I said was that I was disappointed. In no way did I ever insinuate that he ought to be perfect, or that he was any different than any other person. I also never decided he was some sort of evil person because of these revelations. Nor does my faith in the Lord and His witnesses change one bit because of things like this. I believe the apostle Paul had something to say about having this treasure in clay pots...we are all "cracked pots", imperfect vessels for the glorious gospel.

I'm truly sorry my post offended you. Again, all I said was that I was "disappointed." "Sorry" might have been a better choice of words.

As for "believing in [my] drivers...well...I don't know about that. Seems *my* driver or anyone else's driver are just people. I may (or may not) enjoy watching them speed round and round at 200 mph. I may (or may not) appreciate the finer points of 1/8-inch differences in aerodynamics between Fords and Chevys and Dodges and Pontiacs. I may even (or may not) support them by buying bumper stickers, soft drinks, Viagra, and UPS shipping. But whether or not I *believe* in them really makes no differece at all in the larger scheme of things!

Thanks for your post. Again, my sincerest apologies for offending you.

Just wondering...

Tim Wilson sang "Jeff Gordon's gay" on the Bob and Tom Show. Hilarious stuff. The basic idea is that the jealous NASCAR drivers who couldn't beat him (until recently) had to fall back on that line to make themselves feel better.

Are you really his lover? Are you male or female? ;^)
