"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW"
Dear God;
Why didn't you save the school children in Littleton,Colorado?
Sincerely,
A concerned Student
Dear Concerned Student:
I am not allowed in schools.
Sincerely,
GOD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where Did It Start?
Let's see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she
didn't want any prayer in our schools.
and we said OK.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then, someone said you better not read the Bible in school,
the Bible
that
says "thou shalt not kill,
thou shalt not steal,
and love your neighbor
like
yourself."
And we said, OK.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
And we said,
an expert should know what he's talking about
so we won't
spank
them anymore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then someone said
teachers and principals better not discipline our
children
when they misbehave.
And the school administrators said no faculty member
in
this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't
want
any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued.
And we accepted their reasoning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then someone said,
let's let our daughters have abortions if they want,
and
they won't even have to tell their parents.
And we said, that's a grand idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then some wise school board member said,
since boys will be boys and
they're
going to do it anyway,
let's give our sons all the condoms they want,
so
they
can have all the fun they desire,
and we won't have to tell their parents
they got them at school.
And we said, that's another great idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then some of our top elected officials said
it doesn't matter what we do
in
private as long as we do our jobs.
And agreeing with them,
we said it doesn't matter to me what anyone,
including the President,
does in private as long as I have a job and the
economy is good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
And then someone said
let's print magazines with pictures of nude women
and
call it wholesome down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female
body.
And we said we have no problem with that.
And someone else took that appreciation a step further and published
pictures of nude children and then stepped further still by making them
available on the internet.
And we said they're entitled to their free speech.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
And the entertainment industry said,
let's make TV shows and movies that
promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex.
And let's record music that
encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes.
And we said it's just entertainment,
it has no adverse effect,
and
nobody
takes it seriously anyway,
so go right ahead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Therefore,
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"
