If you believe in God and in Jesus Christ His Son, send this to all on your buddy list.

There were dozens of titles for the post today. They started coming to mind early this morning and a flood of them came to me after meeting some friends of ours to bowl this morning before church. There were some ideas on integrity and honesty that came to mind when I heard the guys on the radio talking about Mike Singletary. The Hawks are playing the 49ners today so Mike came up in the discussion. The comment was made that perhaps he has too much integrity and is too honest for the NFL. If this is true, I'd like to see him run for office somewhere in this country. We seem to elect folks that understand laws but most of them seem to lack honesty and integrity. It looks like I've abandoned my title already.

OK, why did I use the title I did today?

I decided to check my email before beginning this post. A friend of mine forwarded a cute Christmas story. The story was cute and worth sharing but I wasn't sure of what to make of the last sentence in the email. It is the title of this post, If you believe in God and in Jesus Christ His Son, send this to all on your buddy list.

If I don't forward this does it mean I do not believe in God and Jesus or that I didn't care for the story?

If I do forward this does it mean I do believe in God and Jesus or that I thought the story was cute?

It almost seems like the note ends with pass this on or go to hell.

Do I want to send this my buddy list with the suggestion that they go to hell?

I am sure that my friend that forwarded this to me didn't mean for me to take it this way, at least I like to think so. I am not a big fan of these notes that end with:

• Forward this if you love your country
• Forward this if you love God and Jesus
• Forward this to warn all your friends
• Forward this and cc me if you think I am your friend
• Forward this if you want all your wishes to come true
• Forward this if you don't want a rash on your privates
• Forward this, to everyone in your address book

You get the point, there are a lot of these types of emails going around. Now, we know what is coming next. "Like" this and share it with all your "Face Book" friends or just delete it and (very similar to the list above!).


That's about it for this subject. The bottom line for me is that I do not think it is fair to do this to our friends and family. If you agree, send this to everyone on your buddy list so they know you respect their feelings. If you do not agree, send this to everyone your buddy list so they know you think they can go to hell if they do not agree with you.


This seems like a good place to end this post and call it good. It ended on a little sarcastic vibe which was fun for me. There really isn't much more to add other than maybe we should forward things we enjoy, like, or feel passionate about after taking a moment to remove thinks like,If you believe in God and in Jesus Christ His Son, send this to all on your buddy list.


That's just my suggestion. If you agree...
