In light of the many recent school shootings Let's see ... I think it started when  Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she didn't want prayer in our schools ... And we said ... OK  Then someone said you better  not read the Bible in school ...  the Bible that says thou shalt not kill,  thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said ... OK  Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't  spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities  would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem. And we said, an expert should know what he's talking about so we said ... OK we won't spank them anymore.   Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave.  And the school administrators said no faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave  because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued. (There's a big difference between disciplining and touching, beating, smacking, humiliating, kicking, etc.)  But we accepted their reasoning ! Then someone said, let's let our daughters  have abortions if they want to. They won't even have to tell their parents And we said ... that's a grand idea ! Then some wise school board member said,  since boys, will be boys and they're going to do it anyway,  let's give our sons all the condoms they want.  They can have all the fun they desire, and we won't  have to tell their parents they got them at school. And we said ... that's another great idea ! Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do in private, as long as we do our jobs. And agreeing with them, we said it doesn't matter to me what anyone does in their private lives, as long as I have a job,  and the economy is good. And then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women and call it wholesome, down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female body. And we said we have no problem with that. Then someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children stepping further still by making them available on the internet. And we said they're entitled to their free speech.   And the entertainment industry said: let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex.  And let's record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes it's just entertainment It has no adverse effect, and nobody takes it seriously anyway,  yes, go right ahead. Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.  Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough ... we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with " We Reap What We Sow." Dear God,  Why didn't you save that little  child the other day at the shooting?  Sincerely,  Concerned Student  And The Reply ...  Dear Concerned Student,  I am NOT allowed in schools.  Sincerely,  God  Funny how simple it is  for people to trash God  and then wonder why  the world's going to hell Funny how we believe  what the newspapers say,  but question what the  Bible says... Funny how everyone wants to ... go to heaven provided they do not have  to believe, think, say, or do  anything that the Bible says.  Funny how someone can say,  "I believe in God"  but still follow Satan  who, by the way,  also believes in God. Funny how we are quick to judge  but not to "be" judged. Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes'  through e-mail and they  spread like wildfire,  But when you start sending messages  regarding the Lord, people think  twice about sharing.   Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar  and obscene pass freely through  Cyberspace, but the public discussion  of Jesus is suppressed in the  school and workplace !  Funny how someone can be  so fired up for Christ on Sunday,  but be an invisible Christian  the rest of the week. Are you laughing?  Funny how when you go to forward this message,  you will not send it to many on your address  list because you're not sure what they believe,  or what they will think of you for sending it to them  Funny how I can be more worried about  what "other" people think of me  than what "God" thinks of me.  Are you thinking?  Pass it on if you think it has merit.  If not, then just discard it .... no one will ever know what you did, for sure.
