Amen. I agree with my brother, Jonathan. Even in having fun and entertainment, we need
to be aware of the example we set. There is plenty of opportunity for good clean fun
without doing things that can be so easily misinterpreted. Besides, sometimes
something that looks like fun to others can be really offensive to the "victim."
Honesty and truth are values that we hold very dearly as Christians and Royal Rangers.
