Sunday and today is another glorious winter day. Bright sunshine and cold which is the way I love it this time of year.
Church this AM was OK. Our preacher is not that great so sometimes I tend to drift off during his sermons but I guess we can't all be great preachers. I just wish he would challenge us a bit more. That is what my life as a Christian is all about for me. The challenges of life and how we face up to them and everyday life. We need to constantly be pushed and prodded and reminded of what we are all about. At least that is what I think.
I saw someone started another thread today about spanking children. I made my views know once on this subject and won't do it on a thread again. I got really beat up over that issue. I am just so surprised at the number of JUB guys and women who condone hitting children as a form of teaching.
How can this teach anything except more violence? Violence teaches violence in my book pure and simple. And then for people to say
Well look at me it did me good.
I am a better person.
I deserved it!
On and on. Its sickening
What a crock in my estimation. No one deserves to be hit especially a young child. Do we hit our partners or our spouses or our co-workers when they get out of line?
Oh shit I get so worked up over this issue. I need to stop before I have a coronary.
peace to you all today and always
