Morality Issue?

This news article caught my eye earlier today and started me to thinking about morality. I understand that Christian schools have a right to make their own rules. I even agree with them; most of them. My kid attends a Christian school for a lot of those morality issues. But where do we draw the line? And do the lines need to be drawn?

I have to admit that this one has me a little bit confussed. On one hand there is a non-traditional family, but a family, none the less, who cares enough about their kids to pay for their education at a Christian school. This tells me that this family makes enough money to be able to afford the high cost of this education. This couple has been together for more than 22 years, according to the article, so that tells me that they are "stable people." I am assuming that their children are relatively well-adjusted because I am nearly positive that if there were anything in these kid's backgrounds that the news media could dig up as negative, they would have done so. The same is true of the parents. Therefore, everyone must be a law-abiding, tax paying citizen or else, I am sure, it would have been reported. We all know how the news media loves to report on the negative, especially that of the gay community. On the other hand, we have a school, who, from everything I can tell, has no prior problems with this family or the children. Some teacher or administrator simply overheard one of the kids talking at a school function and realized that her parents were gay, so she was kicked out of school because it is apparently against school policy that a student have a gay parent. To me, this sounds as if this particular school believes that children of gay parents are not worthy of a Christian education. Isn't this school passing judgement on this child? Aren't they passing judgement on what this family is deserving of? And isn't it God's job to judge? As I said, this one has me bumfuzzled.

I am fully aware that the school is within it's right's legally. However, I am thinking that kicking a child out of school for this reason, has got to be against the law, Right? At any rate it has got to be unconstitutional.  And in their judgement ANYONE knows that they are doing God's job...the judging. God judges not a school or any other institution. This is just WRONG on so many levels that it breaks my heart. And I am getting tired of asking, "What is this world coming to?" From my point of view, itss already come to judgemental people, terrorists, immorality, a place where bullying is alive and well, hatred, and a host of other things that, in my mind, constitutions making this world and evil place. This is just NOT right.

Even The Everready Bunny Gets Tired, Sometimes

I think that every now and then every one of us goes through a time during our lives when we are feeling like whatever we touch, or try and accomplish, we end up getting the finger. I know that there are times that I feel that way. I always try as hard as I can to do the best that I can with what I have got. I'll admit that what I've got ain't much, but I make the best of it. I'm human, so yes, I have been known to complain and I have also had myself a pity party or two; but never at any time, have I ever just sat back and allowed somebody else to take care of my responsibilities for me. I have handled every one of those myself. There has even been times when I have handled someone else's responsibilities

Remembering 9/11

I know that most everyone in our country today is thinking about that terrible morning four years ago when those airplanes crashed into the world trade centers and then into the Pentagon and then into that field in Pennsylvania...and we learned that it was a terriost attack, in our own country, with our own planes. How could such horror happen in our country, right under our noses? Then we began to learn how this terror happened. We learned that the government had been warned, but ignored the warnings. We heard of FBI ineptness. We were told that Saddam was behind the attacks. We were told that he was hiding weapons in his country. So we investigated. No weapons of mass destruction were ever found. But still, our government insisted he was hiding them and he must attack. So finally, we did just that. And after several years and countless loss of life, there are still no weapons. We have been lied to. We have invaded a country that quite probably never did attack us in the first place, seeing as all the terriosts were of Saudi Arabian nationality, not Iraqui. But it's the Saudi's that are the friends of our President's. Those are the people he flew out of their country before the attack on Iraq to protect them. And now gas prices are at an all time high; those same friends that our President has protected are making millions and millions of dollars selling oil to this country. And our President is still protecting them. And this morning, on the anniversary of the attacks on our country, while the relatives of the victims of the people who's lives were lost in the Trade Centers and in the Pentagon and in that field in Pennsylvania are honoring their husbands, their wives, their sisters, their brothers, and their children, Bin Laden has sent us yet another threat to terrorize our country...and our President continues to lie to us.

Our dead deserve a better legacy than this. Our children deserve a brighter future than this.
