Show tolerance to people who might be different from you


I can remember when someone new moved into a community that there was neighborhood Welcome Wagon to greet them with goodies and friendship.

It seems our community now has a different approach. We conjure up a town hall meeting and vilify them…bring in some “out-of-state” talk show junkies, put full-page ads in the paper and air a few radio spots to stir up as much animosity as possible.

WWJD bumper stickers come to mind…you claim to be Christians…take a breath and act like it!
