Day of the tsunami.

It all started in the seventh grade, i met this girl alexis. We became best friends. We always used to hang out togather, we used to have lots of fun. after the year eneded i went to seperated school. Me and alexis didn't see each other. I lost her number, i didn't have her as a friend on myspace so we didn't talk for a while. after two years, i saw her at a party. It was still bestfriend. It was in the 10th grade year.

In the tenth grade year i meet a homie that i knew since the six grade but we hated each other. We were about to fight back then. But now since were older. We became friends, oh by the way his name is miguel. After a while we became best friends too. After a while we became bestfriends to. I introduced miguel to alexis and we all became really good friend. After a while....

On december 27th I promised alexis to teach her how to surf and i told miguel to come to, but he couldn't because he had a essay that was do tommorow, and like he always keeps it to the last minute.

Ted Arthur Haggard was born in june 27. 1956. In november 2006, he resigned from all of his leadership positions after he admitted soliciting prostitute Mike Jones for homosexual sex. Ted Arthur haggard pretended that he did not even know Mike Jones. But the investigation they found on Ted Haggard is the purchase of methamphetamine was true, and he admitted. Then later he added sexual immorality to his list of confession. Haggard had a sexual relationship with Mike Jones while he's preaching gay relationships isn't right.

Haggard said the incident was "and indicator of the compulsive behavior"(Haggard 2) that rules him at the time. He wanted to persuade the audience by saying he is truly sorry and he did not mean to. He said he just didn't think right. Haggard says, that he would have lost the support of his wife of 30 years gail and their five children "and been a drug addict" (Haggard 3) if he hadn't been caught. Ted Haggard urges. Haggard said focusing on his spiritual life would help, but found that it did not. He said "it actually Made it worse". Haggard attempted to make the audiance feel sorry for him becuase he was on drugs. But i think that no one should feel sorry for him becuase no one forced him to take drugs.


No i dont think Ted Haggard is believable and trustworthy to me. When you say gay relationship isn't right and you go ahead and do it, it makes you a lier and you will just loose all respect. Because you lied about your opinion of gay relationships. If you are in a leadership group and you get kicked out that means you did something wrong and should get punished for it. Haggard has lied and disrespected the whole entire U.S. and embarrassed him self for lying.
