True Story, my dad had a friend who went to Las Vegas. He got to playing BlackJack and was winning, after something like 28 hours straight of playing and being $500,000 to the good his daughter finally convinced him to cash in and go to his room to rest. He laid down to nap and never woke up. Died in his sleep. His children gave almost all his winnings to the church the man attended. Catholic. They accepted it.

Wow...talk about ethical dilemmas.

I forgot to put the indian smoke signal saying my tongue was in my cheek. I've only gone once,it's three miles from my home and I took some out of towners,who wanted to see it there.While I don't think gambling is a sin unless one is addicted,or spending money that is needed elsewhere,I think its availability can be very bad for the community in general.

I was sure you would know I was kidding by even suggesting Jesus would not mind going for such "noble purposes".Becky,I am not going to even think about writing the hilarious response I had for your comment. Interesting though.
