In light of the many perversions and jokes we send to
one another for a laugh, this is a little different:
This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny,
it's intended to get you thinking.


Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early
Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let
something like this happen?" (regarding the attacks
on Sept. 11).


Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful
response. She said "I believe God is deeply saddened
by this, just as we are, but for years we've been
telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of
our government and to get out of our lives.


And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly
backed out. How can we expect God to give us His
blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us
alone?"


In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school
shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine
Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found
recently) 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 says thou shalt not kill, thou
shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself.
And we said OK.


Then 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 (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide).
We said an expert should know what he's talking
about. And we said OK.


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."



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 you can send '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 lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles
pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion
of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.


Are you laughing?


Funny how when you 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. Funny how we can be more
worried about what other people think of us than what
God thinks of us.



Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just
discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you
discard this thought process, don't sit back and
complain about what bad shape the world is in!
