THINK ON THESE THINGS
Subject: Answer to Dennis Cullivan’s letter “Where have all the grown-ups gone?”, which appeared in the October 17th, 2007 issue of the Daily News.
~”~”~”~”~
To the editor:
I would like to congratulate Dennis Cullivan on his letter, “Where have all the grown-ups gone?”, which appeared in Letters to the editor on October 17th. Every single word he wrote is true and should make all readers sit up and take notice. Our country is in such bad shape that it may take upwards of ten years to repair all the damage perpetrated upon it.
.
Cullivan is correct…the inmates ARE running the asylum, both in Washington, D.C. and in the individual states! Just this week, the state of Maine decided it would be a great idea to pass out birth control pills and condoms to middle school students aged eleven! All that is required is a blanket permission slip from the parents. This blanket permission slip covers regular medication, aspirin, etc., in addition to the birth control items. Should any of these eleven year olds obtain birth control pills or condoms, the parents will NOT be notified! What has our world come to when eleven year olds are given birth control pills and condoms? There is only one last thing to which they haven’t stooped….giving live demonstrations on how to perform sexual intercourse! The way things are going, I guess that is next!
.
The moral compass of our country has been stomped on and smashed. In my humble opinion, the slide down this slippery slope began when prayer was removed from our schools. Nothing goes right without God’s presence. It is just going to get worse as time goes on.

San Francisco just had their Forum Street Fair, which celebrates the homosexual lifestyle. At this fair, it was reported that gays and lesbians were actually having sex on the street while the police turned their backs and did nothing about it. This fair was open to everyone and there were many children who witnessed these outrageous displays. One of the posters for the fair showed a picture of The Last Supper, only the people at the table were all homosexuals and the table was littered with sex toys in various shapes such as Jesus and the cross. Do the words “Sodom and Gomorrah” mean anything to you?
.
I know God loves everyone and that He is very patient with all of us. But even His patience will come to an end if things don’t change. His patience came to an end when he flooded the earth and killed everyone except Noah and his family. It also came to an end when

On the first day of college, the Dean addressed the students, pointing
out some of the rules: “The female dormitory will be out-of-bounds for
all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students.
Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time.”
He continued: “Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be
fined $60. Being caught a third time will incur a hefty fine of $180.

I am impressed by an incident that happened during Ignacy
Paderewski’s (November 18, 1860 - June 29, 1941) career. The famous
Polish pianist agreed to play a concert organized by two Stanford
University students working their way through school. Paderewski’s
manager said they would have to guarantee the artist a fee of $2,000.
The boys agreed and eventually the concert was held.
..
Though the two student promoters worked hard, they took in only
$1,600. Discouraged, they told Paderewski of their efforts and handed
him the $1,600 with a note promising to pay him the balance of $400.
But the artist tore up the note and gave them back the $1,600. “Take
your expenses out of this,” he said, “give yourselves each 10% of
what’s left for your work, and let me have the rest.”
..
Years later, Paderewski was faced with feeding the people of his
war-ravaged Poland. Amazingly, even before a request was made,
thousands of tons of food were sent to Poland by the United States.
..
Paderewski later traveled to Paris to thank Herbert Hoover, who
headed up the US relief effort. “That’s all right, Mr. Paderewski,”
said Hoover, “I knew that the need was great. And besides, though you

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
+++++++
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full they agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes.”
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions–things that if everything else was lost and only they remained your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.
The sand is everything else — the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued,” there is no room for the pebbles or

A Texas school teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots. He asked her for help and she could see why. Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn’t want to go on. By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost cried when the little boy said, “Teacher, they’re on the wrong feet.” She looked and sure enough, they were.
It wasn’t any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on, this time, on the right feet. He then announced, “These aren’t my boots.”
