THIS IS NOT RIGHT

****
I KNOW YOU SAW THE NEWS ABOUT THE LADY WHO DIED FROM THE HEAT . SHE WAS LIVING IN HUGHES ARKANSAS. THE HOUSE WAS MADE OF CEMENT BLOCKS ,HAD A TIN ROOF , NO A/C, & LITTLE VENTILATION . SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT WITH TWO BOX FANS .

IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR A PERSON TO LIVE IN CONDITIONS LIKE THAT .THIS NATION CAN DO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS . THE USA WILL SPEND 119 BILLION DOLLARS IN AFGHANISTAN THIS YEAR ALONE .

WE COULD TAKE ONE MONTH OF THE AFGHANISTAN MONEY & REPLACE MOST OF THE SQUALID LIVING CONDITIONS IN AMERICA . PUT JIM WALTER HOMES IN THE PLACE OF THOSE SHACKS & MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR AMERICANS . USE THE MONEY FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE ,NOT FOR KILLING PEOPLE MANY MILES AWAY .

SOME SAY IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO USE TAXPAYER MONEY TO SUBSIDE HOUSES FOR PEOPLE . YOU MUST BE A SOCIALIST THEY CRY . I MIGHT BE BUT IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO .

I BELIEVE THAT AS CHRISTIANS, WE WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR THIS . JESUS WILL ASK " HOW COULD YOU HAVE SO MUCH & NOT HELP THOSE IN NEED ?" I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER .

PEOPLE SAY THOSE FOLKS CAN GET OUT & WORK HARD TO HAVE THINGS LIKE I HAVE . THAT IS WRONG .

YOU & I HAVE EXACTLY WHAT THE LORD HAS BLESSED US WITH . WE ARE MISTAKEN WHEN WE THINK WE HAVE EARNED OR ACHIEVED MATERIAL THINGS . IF THE LORD CHANGED ONE OR TWO FACTORS IN YOUR LIFE YOUR POSITION WOULD BE DIFFERENT . SOMEONE ELSE WOULD HAVE ALL THOSE POSSESSIONS YOU ARE SO PROUD OF .

NOW ,I HAVE A HARD TIME GIVING MYSELF . I DON'T KNOW WHY . DO I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO HOLD ON TO WHAT I HAVE BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST THE LORD TO TAKE CARE OF ME ?

YOU CAN'T SAVE OR GATHER ENOUGH TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE WORLD . ALL THESE MATERIAL THINGS CAN VANISH IN A HEARTBEAT . LIFE CAN CHANGE REALLY FAST , AS I LEARNED IN THE CANCER WARD .

I BELIEVE WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE AROUND US . IF WE KNOW OF A NEED JESUS HOLDS US ACCOUNTABLE TO MEET THAT NEED .

WE CAN DO IT THROUGH GOVERNMENT , THE CHURCH, OR CHARITY BUT WE HAVE TO ANSWER THE CALL .

ON THAT BRIGHT & CLOUDLESS MORNING JESUS WILL NOT ASK " ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN ,DEMOCRAT , NEOCON , PROGRESSIVE , POPULIST , OR A LIBERTARIAN ?

JESUS WANTS TO KNOW " DID YOU FEED THE HUNGRY , DID YOU SHELTER THE HOMELESS . " AT THIS POINT I DON'T LIKE MY ANSWER .

AS THE ROMAN EMPIRE DECAYED , BREAD & CIRCUS WERE USED TO ENTERTAIN THE MASSES . WHEN WE PAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACHES 4 OR 5 MILLION A YEAR CAN AMERICA BE FAR BEHIND ?
