In light of the many 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 Katrina)

   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.
