An Admonishment

In lieu of the post by Jungle Mom, I read the following on a blogs, and it rings sooo true:




Here is a quote from Pastor Martin Niemoeller, a church leader who opposed Hitler.“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”





Also, a friend is suggesting we send cards to the ACLU for Christmas----wonder how their "winter holiday" will be affected?

Have you pondered the "Family Trees" issue from Lowe's? I mean isn't the Family Tree a list of your ancestors---represented by the branches each family represents.....do they think we are to hang only family names as decorations (BTW, the decorations are described as "holday" items....and the current ad just calls them "trees"....all this by inundating them with emails which caused a retraction the next day!!)

So, what do you think about our taking a stand??????

  • A great, thought provoking post.

    Taking a stand, we hear about it often in our Christian lives, but how often do we really do it?

    I found the response about Lowe's Family Tree being a blunder by proofreaders laughable! Oh Please!
