My wife used to be a big fan of Vince Gill. She has a similar problem with the hypocrisy of those who make careers in Christian faith or music and then do not walk the walk. Nobody expects Amy Grant or Vince Gill to be without sin. It is a disappointment to see adultery destroy two families.
People should be able to express disappointment in the adultery of two famous people with families torn by sin. Otherwise, it becomes tacit approval. We should be put off by a sin publicly committed. A complete tolerance of sin is a green light to evil. It is not how we are supposed to live our lives, whether or not we are Christian music stars.
I read the piece that he was big fan of Amy's but very hurt by her behavior.

I read it your way. I was disappointed, not so much in her, but in my perception of her. She was someone I wished I could be more like. Though I am divorced, it was because of an abusive husband and an adulter. Throughout my marriage, I never once considered adultery, especially with another married man. I know how I hurt, how my children hurt and I could never do that to other people. That was a long time ago and my rewards are having loving sons who are excellent husbands and fathers to their children. It would have been easy to make myself happy in the then-present, but there would be no happiness for me now.....and for the most part, I am happy.
