Nancy <I will explain that Jesus taught love and tolerance and submission to governing authorities> Does this mean that you feel Christians are correct or incorrect when they shoot Doctors who perform abortions. Does this mean that that you feel Christians should have rejected or accepted Hitler's instructions while he was in authority. Does this mean that you feel all laws made by men are an extension of the code you believe in, or do some laws contravene this code. When deciding what laws, if any, contravene this code you believe in, what do you feel is the determining factor. Does this mean that you feel that the Laws against activity on the Sabbath are true today, or is it OK to cut your grass on the Sabbath. If James Garrett decides that God believes in segregation, like he does, and points out the appropriate code, will you feel he is right.

Nancy, we had sunshine this morning, then really sudden storms, and now it is sunny again, with no sign of the rains that came and left. I hope your storms are ending, too. Time for a beautiful weekend spent outdoors, I hope. I am very perplexed about the role of "Christians" in the militia movement, and the the Ku Klux Klan and all the other groups in America who teach hatred and hurt other people. What on earth symbolism is it when a group of grown men terrorize a black family by burning a cross on their front lawn? I mean, what could that possibly mean, a burning cross? Everywhere I look on the web, and in the newspapers, everyone I find who is involved in these hate groups is a white, conservative Christian, and they all believe in essentially the same things--hatred of Jews and homosexuals, and other races and religions. Definitely, all Christians do not belong to these groups--it is a very small minority, and most Christians are really nice people. But all the people who belong to these groups are Christians!! It really makes me wonder what on earth is going on. The militia groups and the other hate groups are gaining in American society. There are now militia groups in all fifty states. Definitely a negative trend, and one that I am really afraid of. How can they afford helicopters, anyway? This is all just mind-boggling to me, and I would like to stay and talk about it because I do not understand why this is happening. But unfortunately I need to leave now and go spend the afternoon with my daughter, outside in the beautiful sunshine. I am happy to see her, but I was having fun here. Have a peaceful time, Nancy!!
