Suicide note. Those are two words you never ever ever want to say when talking about a loved one. Well, Florida police have released the suicide note for a woman known as "the DC Madam", who apparently ran a prostitution ring for almost 13 years.
This is just another sad example of what happens when the value of our bodies and the God-ordained sexual experience is devalued to the point of death, literally, in her case.
For me this raises the question of legal prostitution, which is rampant in many parts of the world. Here in the United States, prostitution is only legal in one state, Nevada, but in many parts of the world, sexual services can be gotten very easily.
An upcoming post will deal with the issues of prostitution, but I wanted to make a post about the note itself. Look at the handwriting, the nuances of her penmanship, the details of her punctuation marks. There is emotion in this letter; the emotions of a sad woman, with a desperately warped perception of love. Let us pray for her soul and for those involved in this lifestyle.
