Ouch

Pastor Rick Warren had a run-in with a particularly nasty plant:

Saddleback Church's Rick Warren tweeted Thursday that he recently suffered a severe eye injury:

"My eyes were severely burned by a toxic poison.Hospitalized Mon.Excruciating pain.Now home.Pray my sight loss is restored"

Warren was working in his garden Monday when he accidentally wiped the sap of a firestick plant into his eyes. He was hospitalized for those severe burns.

Larry Ross, Rick Warren's spokesman, said that Warren's doctors "expect 100% recovery," and Warren later tweeted that he is "not blind."

The famous preacher and author of "The Purpose Driven Life" seems to have already found meaning in his torment, tweeting:
"May God use this pain for His Glory. Rom.8:28," quoting the passage in the Bible that says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

That's gotta hurt. Get well, Rick! One thing's for sure, he's never been lacking in the vision department.
