As I see it, the Democrats want to force their views on everyone regardless of how revolutionary those ideas are. I'm from the South and in the South we trust people as long as they do not give us a reason not to trust and for many years now we have had hundreds of reasons not to trust Democrats because they have shown us they are not trustworthy. Now that Christian values are being looked at, watch them try to mimic..It will not work because true Christians are quite good at spotting hypocrites. The liberals talk a lot but the action does not match. They want to be able to act out their "basic instincts" each and every time the mood hits and they want someone else to bear the consequences. It is called instant gratification and it is the thing that the Christian faith says we must control if we are to truly love our neighbor as ourselves because total self-gratification does not love..We have a huge opportunity now, first in our families and in our neighborhoods to pull together in a "love thy neighbor" mode which the world has never seen. Let's do it! Bake those cookies at Christmas for those who live on either side of you or in your building. Ask that elderly person over for a chat and a cup of coffee. Ask them about their lives and make them feel the continuing purpose that God has as long as life endures. I do some of this but not enough so I am talking to myself here. Last week I began by taking cookies to a 93 year old who has just lost his wife. He is very lonely and just relishes the gift of time anyone gives which shows an interest in him. The nursing homes are full and a great place to take simple holiday gifts and to give a lonely old person a hug..Then, there are the little children.."Suffer the little children and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of Heaven." Need I say more on this Sunday morning..Have a good one!
