My mom had told me to call her once I get to the mall, so that she knows that i got there safe. But, when i had gotten to the mall i had forgot. My mom tired to call me but I was in the theatures so i couldn't pick up the phone. Once the movie was over I checked my voice mail, because i had 3 missed calls. My mom left me a voice message saying, "Crystal i am on my way to pick you up, I just saw the weather forecast and they said any second a 6.8 earthquake is going to hit. Suddenly, I felt a light shake and I began to get really scared because I remebered what my mom had told me. I tried calling my mom but she didn't pick up , so finally i called her and she picked. She told me that she is right in front of the mall to come. I began to get really scared because I have never been in a really big earthquake before. Then I saw the floors beging to shake. Then I saw my mom on the other side. I yelled out "MOM!!". She heard me and looked my way. She tried to come to me but the security gaurd kept telling her that it is not safe for her to come in. She said,"Please all i want is my daughter". So then I ran to her and the gaurds were calling me to stop. I hugged my mom. She was then so happy that I was ok that she began to cry.

Is Ted Haggard really trustworthy?

Ted Haggard realizes that he was being hypocritical, and now he is apologizing for it. Ted Haggard himself talks about how he is against homosexual, when he had a relationship with a male of 20 years of age and his name is called Grant Haas. Now he is saying that he is a changed man and apologizing for it. Ted Haggard fells that he had made a mistake in being hypocritical and won't do critize people again.
Ted Haggard shows sympathy when he says, " I think im still deeply woounded and scarred and somewhat confused." Ted Haggard explains in this quote that he did something wrong and can never be forgiven. He is confused with his own feelings and is not sure how to feel or think about his situation because of the damage he has caused himself. He knows his actions were wrong at the time of doing, but he still went ahead and had sexual relationship with Grant Haas. He is unaware of his feelings and has regrets of what he did in the past with another male.
I do not believe Ted Haggard is trustworthy to me because he was against gay rights at the beggining. He then changes his mind only because he had a relationship with another man and decided it was ok but in reality he ended up wounding and confusing himself because of his actions. I also do not agree he is trustworthy because he changes his mind constantly and is not aware of consequences until he has to face them. People can still be trustworthy even though they change there minds but they also need to be aware of their wise decisions.
