THURSDAY… Self control and SUNDAYs

 

                                (I did 'sink'** into her arms!)

 For now:

Sunday WAS respected in the past, by MOST folks whether religious or not. No one would ‘cut their grass or go hunting’ on Sunday. Most businesses closed so employees could rest AND/or go to church.

I am still amazed that ‘Little Leagues’ schedule games or practice on Sunday morning; looking back, most kids in our area were in Sunday School at that time.

As I ponder today’s world and the headlines such as:

‘MAN KILLS WIFE OVER FOOTBALL GAME ON TV’

‘WOMAN KILLS INFANT BECAUSE IT CRIES”

‘Driver Shoots Man for Driving Too Slow’

‘MAN THROWS BABY AGAINST THE WALL BECAUSE HE LOST VIDEO GAME’

Every day we read of someone with NO Self Control, doing something irrational in the heat of the moment and ruins their life and the lives of others.

WHAT has happened? Could it possibly be that we lost knowledge of right and wrong.  Have you ever taken time to look at the 10 Commandments? Yes, they are connected to a religion, BUT have you ever just considered them as plain COMMON SENSE!

Sunday School taught the Ten Commandments, kids heard, and they became part of our lives. So in my mind I somehow relate our worlds’ loss to lack of respect for a Supreme Being. 

Is Sunday the Sabbath? Is Sunday the first or last day of the week. I think we just need a day set aside to consider our life….

I have respect for other religions. I leave that up to GOD to decide the TRUTHS and UNTRUTHS in that respect. I do think we should ALWAYS keep in mind there are consequences (legal, physically and morally) of our actions. No matter THE regrets, how many times you say ‘I am so sorry’, wild actions and words CANNOT be UNDONE!

It seems that the crazy actions and headlines will continue until we regain respect for our fellow man and get back to following the TEN COMMANDMENTS.  I was taught them, I relate them to Jesus.

A blog that many follow begins this way:

It is no point having faith in a Master who walks on water if we do not trust Him enough to follow Him.

Quoting my dad, “In this world, Some are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good”. So here on earth we must still relate to our neighbors. An example: Old Vic suggests you follow Christ.  He also has not lost his sense of humor. He also says:

**A man who sinks into a woman’s arms… will soon find his arms in her sink.

Au revoir!
