What in the world is happening with our kids today?
Let's see...
I think it started when Madalyn Murray O'Hair complained that she
didn't want prayer in schools,
and we said, OK.
Then someone said you can't read the Bible in school - the Bible
that says you shouldn't kill, you shouldn't steal, and you should love
your neighbor as yourself.
And we said, OK.
Then Dr. Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they
misbehave because their personalities would be warped and their
self-esteem might be damaged.
And we said, OK.
Then someone said that teachers and principals better not discipline
our children when they misbehave. And administrators said no one
had better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want
any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued.
And we said, OK.
Then someone said let our daughters have abortions if they want, and
they won't even have to tell their parents.
And we said, OK.
Then someone else said, let's give our sons and daughters all the
condoms they want so they can have all the "fun" they desire, and we won't
have to tell their parents.
And we said, OK.
And then some of our top officials said that it doesn't matter what
we do in private as long as we do our jobs.
And we said, OK.
As long as I have a job and the economy is good, it doesn't matter what
anyone does in private - it's nobody's business.
So now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience,
why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother
them to kill someone.
If we think about it long and hard enough, we probably can figure it
out. Could it have something to do with
"reaping what we have sown"?
What a concept!
