Lance, that's a hell of a question...so what's the answer?
"...DOES ANYONE HERE SEND 1.00 A DAY TO THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY FUND TO HELP FEED
THOSE STARVING CHILDREN I SEE ON T.V ALL THE TIME..DOES ANYONE HERE VOLUNTEER
TO FEED THE HUNGRY ON THANKSGIVING...CHRSITMAS DO YOU DELIVER TOYS TO THE
KIDS IN THE HOSPITAL..."
It's easy to bitch about politics while we're well fed and sitting in our comfortable homes...
Give this some thought once you've finished your turkey and you're
watching the Vikings play the Cowboys over the Thanksgiving holiday...
This is a quote from a letter from my 9 year old "adopted daughter" in Thailand...
"...thank you for the $4.00 American...I will use it to buy clothes and save the rest for my education....
it is harvest season here and school is out...I will go to help my parents in the rice fields before the rains come...
may God bless you and your family always...your sponsored child...Chamaipom Kamgau..."
The Christian Childrens Fund is one of the easiest ways you'll ever find to help someone...
We usually send a few extra bucks each month and often receive
a personal letter from our sponsored child thanking us for the few extra dollars...
Any money sent above the agreed amount is given directly to the childs' family...
If you'd rather help some one in this hemisphere, I can highly recommend
The Salvation Army...they help a lot of people today, just as they have for generations....
"...it's not a matter of being 'goody goody', but of being good 'FOR' something..." Edgar Cayce...
"...resist not evil, but overcome evil with good..." J. Christ
Christians, Jews, and Moslems, all accept Jesus as a great
teacher and prophet....and he taught simple things...
Luke 6:37-38
"Judge not and you will not be judged...
Condemn not and you will not be condemned...
Forgive and you shall be forgiven..."
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure,
pressed down, and shaken together, and running over
will be put in your lap. For with the same measure
that you give, it shall be measured to you again..."
I'm not a preacher or a scholar, but what it says to me is...
"...you want to know what's in store for you hereafter...?
all you have to look at is "what did you decide to do"...!"
I'm sorry to sound "preachy," but this hits a bit close to home...
I really don't think my vote counts for very much...
There were politicians before Pontius Pilot, and they'll be more after Gore and Bush....
All good talkers, looking for a job...serving mostly themselves...
But, when it comes to everyday life on this planet... and a 9 year old girl
who will be up to her knees in a rice paddy while I'm eating turkey...
I like to think I've been a little good "FOR" something...
