Nice Read!

[I humbly bow]

Hello, A friend sent this mail that I want to share with you.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane

Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?"

(regarding the attacks on Sept. 11).

Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She

said "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but

for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get

out of our government and to get out of our lives.

And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.

How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if

we demand He leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings,

etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was

murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want

prayer in our schools, and we said OK.

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school .... the

Bible says thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal, and love your

neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when

they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped

and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide).

We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our

children when they misbehave. The school administrators said no

faculty member in this school better touch a student when they

misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely

don't want to be

sued (there's a big difference between

disciplining, touching, beating, smacking, humiliating, kicking, etc.). And we said OK.

Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they

want, and they won't even have to tell their parents. And we said OK.

Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys

and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the

condoms they want so they can have all the fun they desire, and we

won't have to tell their parents they got them at school. And we said OK.

Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what

we do in private as long as we do our jobs. Agreeing with them, we

said it doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the President,

does in private as long as I have a job and the economy is good.

Then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women

and call it wholesome,

down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of

the female body. And we said OK.

And then someone else took that appreciation a step further and

published pictures of nude children and then further again by

making them available on the Internet. And we said OK, they're

entitled to free speech.

Then the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and

movies that promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. Let's

record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and

satanic themes. And we said it's just entertainment, it has no

adverse effect, nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.

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 strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure

it out.

I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why

the world's going to destruction hell. Funny how we believe what

the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.

Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like

wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord,

people think twice about sharing.

Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely

through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

For some reason, I don't think God is causing terrorist attacks because of what humanity is doing. God is running the entire show, he's not throwing in random events/catastrophes as a consequence of human actions. What about other terrible massacres in history when alot of the above wasn't happening.

Everything is happening in hukam... Hukam cannot be explained only accepted...
