Police and tolerance
Why do the police all of a sudden become the bad guys? I live close to four, and they put their life on the line every day. It is my prayer every day that through their dedication, I can sleep at night. If police give an order, obey it. Maybe I am old-fashioned but I was raised to respect authority. What has happened?
On another matter: Bill Clinton, Bruce Jenner or Josh Dugger. Who is the guilty one? God created male and female, black, white, yellow or red you can’t change that. We have poo-pooed Clinton’s affairs as a novelty, Bruce Jenner is a hero for becoming a women, then Josh Dugger is a pedophile and he and the whole family is being persecuted for covering it up even though it was reported and Josh was sent for treatment. Is it because the family are professing Christians and trying to raise their family with morals and a work ethic? Where is the tolerance? Accept immoral behavior, changing what God has created then persecute one that at as a teen made unaccepted touching of some under age girls. He confessed to his parents, got treatment, prayed and received forgiveness and the rest is history. He has proved himself sought forgiveness and has become a productive citizen. Then some slum-bag released his record that as a teen was sealed. The family will survive if (TLC) cancels, which they have because the Dugger were doing OK because of their work ethic. Where is the justice in our time?
Where is the forgiveness?
