Why are the hospitals full and overflowing? Why are there not enough doctors to take care of all of the sick?
• I am thankful for what medicine has done, but for every cure it achieves, three more diseases pop up sticking out their tongue.
• Yes, I believe in tradition.
• Most people are traditional in many areas of their life. Do you realize that it was traditional for your great, great, great grandfather to drink water? It was traditional for your great, great, great grandfather to go to sleep at night... To get up in the morning... And the list goes on and on.
• Those things, which are traditional, are those things that have endured the wearing element of time.
• In light of all of this traditional head-wagging, I want to propose another appreciation day. This coming Sunday I declare it to be Local Church Appreciation Day. Everybody who believes in traditional values will show up at the church of their choice and make their vote count.
• I know it will be a shock and we run the danger that many church ceilings will cave in, but I think it is worth the risk. Of course, there is the possibility that when many pastors see their sanctuary filled with people they will pass out in sheer shock.
• In the meantime, I am going to stick to what the Bible says here regardless of what happens. "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward" (1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV).
• Every Sunday should be local Church Appreciation Day.
