Greeting everyone from the Post,
Thought we might chat for a bit. Doncha just love email? Some of its good some will leave you wondering about people. I like mine to keep in touch with all my friends I have made around the country as I traveled in my work. Sometimes it's quite handy for shopping when you just cannot tolerate a trip to the mall. That is especially true for me during the holiday season. I'm more of a "buyer" than a "shopper"......I go, I see and I buy! The mall is about seventy five miles away which makes for another good reason to shop the web.
Well, back to the subject of email. I hate those "chain thang" emails. But, the very worst are those petitions! Yesterday for the gazillionith time I got one of those "Petition to reinstate prayer in the schools" to be sent to Pres. Bush. Now, I'm a fairly reasonable lady and I believe to each his own. But, when you just keep filling my mail box with those things, I am pretty sure you will hear from me. And that is how it happened.
"Please keep this petition going to Pres. Bush to reinstate prayer in the schools"?? Pardon me? Was he responsible for taking it out? Oh no, that's right. It was Madelyn Murry O'Hara; and we (yep, you and I) that allowed all her protesting, yelling and belly aching to take the issue all the way to the Supreme Court to get it done. Nope, it didn't happen over night, but we didn't lift one keyboard finger to stop her! How many of you can honestly say you wrote a letter to your Congressman? your state Legislator? the President? Anybody? Did your church get a petition going to stop her? No? Gee, imagine that. Well, I am a big letter writing person and I like for my voice to be heard. People died that I might have the freedom to do just that. And she was not one of them.
Several years ago here there was a big push for a petition to not allow pets in the Nursing Home facilities because one (YEP...ONE) person thought they were unclean. Isn't that an oxymoron? Have your toured your local nursing home facility? Any in the neighboring communities? A nice trained dog would be an addition to some of them. I got on my e-keys, letter writing campaign and recruited some of my friends help. Today we have some of the cutes dogs, cats, birds and even people entertaining and loving each other in all the facilities around here. Love can change most anybodies attitude. They love each other being around. My friends and I go and do the small chores of caring for the animals, take food and provide the necessities of the animals. The bonus of that is the residents there have come to look forward to visiting with us. It's good for them and us. People sharing God's love.
I still love email. Keeps me in touch with those friends of mine in Iraq, Afghanistan etc. that are still fighting and dying so I can sit with my fingers on these keys and post my opinion. I write to them on a regular basis here and in snail mail. Send those packages, as well. I love email.
May your weekend be blessed. Attend the church of your choice but attend somewhere. While you're there pray for each other, our county and new Christian growth.
Til next time we see you here on the Post.
