Good morning, Jimmy D ,
Hey thanks for keeping us updated on this , this kind of thinking in and
amongst people in our country is not going to be uncommon in the future,
as long as the principle of "as long as I don,t break the law,and any
kind of thinking goes" these kinds of controversial topics will come up
all over the place, but it does not surprise me as I only have to look at
the moral decline or should I say decay of this nation, and this being
"The new high tech information age" the fire will get worse, this is just
tip of the ice burg. It has been said by Benjamin Franklin "that in order
for evil to persist all it needs is for good men to do nothing".
Thanks again for bring this up Jimmy, in doing so you have not done
NOTHING but rather alerted us to it, All I have to say is this.
1.) Genesis 1:26 We have DOMINION of the fish given by GOD , READ IT.
2.) God said it, I believe it, and that settles it.
3.) Pray
4.) Teach as many kids to fish as you can!!
Thanks Again, Jimmy D, Have a good day all
Scott C. Crow
P.S. The money I have in my wallet SAY'S IN GOD WE TRUST!!!!!and by the
way nobody is pushing buttons here, just telling the TRUTH.
