Caution Children At Play

The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!  

Mathew 6:22,23

Tree lights are finally twinkling and fresh snow falling. The world is white and the world is pale. And the Christian radio station says it's great that Newton, CT is moving on. Starting anew, their kids are back in school. And I can hardly drop mine off without tears. And I'm angry that American faith is white, light, and fluffy. Often, it melts too. When will we wail loudly and fall on our knees with these families in Connecticut? When will we connect the dots? Small children connect them more than we do.

On our drive, a Caution Children at Play sign reminds people to drive slow. To look out for the little ones. As a nation and people we no longer do that.

In the days ahead, gun control will be discussed around many tables. I dare you to take the discussion deeper. I'm neither anti-gun nor pro-gun (if you keep your guns locked up in a gun safe), but I am totally disgusted by the gaming industry and trash and violence Hollywood churns out. Why do they churn it out? We watch it. God help us.

We haven't forgotten Caution Children At Play, we have intentionally forged ahead with violence and guns galore in our video games and on our TV's. No other nation, no other people accepts this violence, tolerates it and indeed welcomes it like us Americans. Such accepting people we are. God help us.

We have filled our eyes and minds with darkness. We have walked away from morality and goodness. We have walked away from God. Wake up. Newton, CT is the result of what we as a nation have filled our hearts and minds with.
