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 simp! le 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 yet?
