More Of The Same Please

  When I posted the article on what I labled as "the Cracker Barrel movement" a few weeks ago, I
was excited and hopeful that what I described in the post and believed our society needs would be
well-received by my audience. I am sure that some who read it were pleasantly surprised and liked
the fact that there are still those who value and display good manors and an attitude of love for
others! If you haven't seen the post I would invite you to please take a look at it soon on my blog
site.

  Obviously we are all challenged each day to show more kindness, patience and love to our
neighbors but most of us fall woefully short on a daily basis! That's embarrassing to me but it
can be changed. My own desire is to see our society return to a much more compassionate way
of interacting with one another and deal a vital blow to the current poisonous agenda rolling
through the earth, with no regard for any kind of life and especially against any who do not bow
to them and their false god! Its genocide of every one who rejects their evil doctrine.

  When my wife and I witnessed that 'attitude of gratitude' that day in our neighborhood Cracker
Barrel we could do nothing but smile and let the mood flow through us for a moment. It lingered
inside us until after we finished our meal and headed home. I have to make a personal observation
here, though. As soon as we left the parking lot that day, we were quickly ushered back into the
'real world' and that same selfish attitude which prevails among us all. Tragic, indeed! We allow
ourselves to be strongly influence by what society tells us is the way things are!

  Life matters to God! All life! He, after all, created life! There should be no doubt about that and
if anyone denies the existence of a creator-God, I invite you to take a little walk outside your
house and just look up. What you see in the sky and space should by itself be enough evidence
for you to understand that you were created, not evolved from slime or from monkeys! I digress,
though. Its much easier to believe that a loving, compassionate and gracious God chose to create
living beings and place them on a living planet in order to continue living, not dying.

  As I have stated already, our society needs help! We are sadly lacking in each of the vital areas
mentioned here! The great news is, however, we can work on each area of need on a daily basis
and, with Gods help, we can soon return to a place which will allow us to display those
wonderful attributes once again. Even more simply, we can practice these attitudes with our
family members, which seems to be the most difficult area for all of us. Fun and games time with
brother and sister, right> Are you serious?

  It takes only one person to begin the 'movement' and I have to believe that many of us will
take up the gauntlet and get this thing rolling with vigor and determination amd, who knows,
watch as the whole attitude of it begins changing us from the inside out. That's really what it's
all about, after all!

  Move on folks.
