I never met Vince personally but, have played with guys who have. People, who care to know about the history of this couple would agree that there is no better match than Amy and Vince.
Amy did the suffering spouse detail while practically raising their children herself. There comes a time when you have to put the children first and take the lumps for leaving. I applaud her.
Also, I am once again sickened by comments of some in this thread. James is not the only book in the bible. The average Joe on the street would crumble living under the microscope this family has endured.
And isn't it the Presbyterian church that condoned homosexual marriages?
Kinda the pot calling the kettle something.......
Kinda more like the Pot calling the Kettle bloody schismatic heretics, you mean.
The Orthodox Presbytery permanently separated from the Apostate Presbyterian Church USA back in 1936 for exactly this sort of reason.
Since that time, God has been pleased to grow the Orthodox Presbytery by 100,000 percent. (Check the OPC Membership Rolls if you have any doubt)
The Lord God Almighty built this nation on the blood of Orthodox Presbybyterians.
This thing called "America" is OUR Baby.
We BUILT This City.
And when God has need of his Presbyterian Calvinists, He will call us again.
Count on it.
Blood and Honor. That is the Coin of Orthodox Presbytery, even while the Kingdom of AntiChrist rises around us.
Of that you can be certain -- we pledge our lives, our fortunes, our Sacred Honor (that's an orthodox presbyterian phrase, in case you did not know).
The Black Regiment does not sleep.
We await the Call to Final Sacrifice.
We few, we happy few... we band of Brothers.
And orthodox Presbyterians, also!!
(Curses on this deficient FR spell-check!! Curses!! Grumble, grumble...)
Is this a PR piece for the new Miss America? Is participating in the Miss America pagent a "Christian " activity??
GOD FORBID!!

Food for (regional) thought.
Are you sitting down, sinkspur? I'm gonna agree with you (sort of). There is a VERY fine line between witnessing and being a Pharasee hypocryte. You can't teach the difference. You just have to feel it.
I never knew they were a couple.
Poor Sharon and Valerie.
Marriage isn't a private affair. When you make the vows, you do it before God AND the world. If those vows are broken, they are done so publicly. Marriage can not be a secret thing, so neither can divorce.
People who are doing right don't fear having the light shine on their behavior. When I heard about this little spouse swapping incident, I looked high and low for an explaination. None has ever (to my knowledge) been offered.
Now I hear rumors of Gary Chapman being a scumbag. Fair enough, but that doesn't address Vince Gill's wife and family.
If Grant is stilling calling herself a Christian, she has to level with people and explain why her actions were justified. If she can't justify what she did (or Vince Gill) and refuses to repent then neither one is a believer no matter what they claim.
