Baptist Pastor resigns

You knew this one was coming. Joe Barron has resigned.

The Rev. Jack Graham, pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church, said during services Saturday that the church accepted Joe Barron's resignation, effective immediately.

Barron was charged Friday with online solicitation of a minor. Undercover officers posing as a 13-year-old girl communicated with the 52-year-old minister for about two weeks. The online conversations were sexual in nature, police said.

I wrote about him here. I hope they have him on a suicide watch.

How long until Joe Barron contracts an acute case of retroactive alcoholism or pain killer dependency?

At least he resigned, instead of blubbering on about how GAWD forgives him, so we should too.
