Read Part One HERE
In this post I continue to share from a story told by teacher and writer Nancy Campbell in her magazine "Above Rubies."
The story is about a couple named Connie and Jim with Connie giving the details of their lives together as printed in "Above Rubies." I will follow up her statements with my comments.
Connie: "Jim disappeared from the home about thirty times in twelve years. He would suddenly disappear without warning. The three children would run in from play crying, "Where is daddy, where is my daddy?"
My Comment
By allowing Jim to disappear over and over again without taking any decisive action to confront him with his sinful behaviour, Connie not only aided Jim to carry on in his criminal lifestyle, she was partly responsible for the suffering the children went through. Their suffering may well have had a long lasting effect on them for the rest of their lives. It is shocking to me that as a bible teacher, author and speaker Nancy Campbell never even addressed the fact that these children might have been traumatised by their dad's ongoing sudden disappearance.
