Celebrate Jesus
Something my Church does.

I now attend a Methodist Church and they do something new now that is so cool called Celebrate Jesus that is like your own neighborhood mission work they do it all over the state of Florida. Missionaries from all over travel to other Methodist churches in Fla. and they help you walk the neighborhoods in your town. We spread neighborhood block party invitations, Give out water, give away free food, we gave out bus tokens and many other things for a week and take in prayer requests and at the end of the week we have a huge block party. This is so cool.

Dear God:
"Why didn't you save the little girl in Michigan?" Sincerely, Concerned Student
AND THE REPLY........
Dear Concerned Student:
"I am not allowed in schools. "Sincerely, God

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 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. And we accepted their reasoning.
~~~~~~~~~~~THEN~~~~~~~

Someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions
if they want, and 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, so 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,
including the President, does in private as long as I have a job and the economy is good.
~~~~~~~~~~~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 and published pictures of children and then stepped further still by making them available on the Internet. And we said they're entitled to their free speech.
~~~~~~~~~~~THEN~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.
And we said it's just entertainment, it has no adverse effect, and nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.
~~~~~~~~~~~AND 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."
