Billy
Graham's
daughter was
interviewed
on
the
Early
Show
and
Jane
Clayson asked
her,
"How
could God
let
something
like
this
Happen?"
(regarding
Katrina)
Anne
Graham
gave
an
extremely
profound
and
insightful
response. She
said,
"I
believe
God is
deeply
saddened
by
this,
just
as
we
are, but
for
years
we've
been
telling
God
to
get
out of
our
schools,
to
get
out of
our
government
and to
get
out
of
our
lives.
And
being
the
gentleman He
is,
I
believe
He
has calmly
backed
out. How
can
we
expect
God to
give
us
His
blessing and
His
protection
if
we
demand
He
leave us
alone?"
In
light
of
recent
events... terrorists
attack, school
shootings,
etc.
I
think
it
started
when
Madeleine
Murray
O'Hare (she
was
murdered,
her
body
found
recently)
complained
she
didn't
want
prayer
in
our
schools,
and
we
said
OK.
Then
someone
said
you better
not
read
the
Bible in
school
.The
Bible
says Thou
Shalt
Not
Kill, Thou
Shalt
Not
Steal, and
Love
Your
Neighbor As
Yourself. And
we
said
OK.
Then
Dr.
Benjamin
Spock said
we
shouldn't
spank our
children
when
they
misbehave
because their
little
personalities would
be
warped
and we
might
damage
their self-esteem
(Dr.
Spock's
son
committed
suicide).
We
said
an
expert
should
know
what
he's
talking
about. And
we
said
OK.
Now
we're
asking
ourselves
why
our
children
have no
conscience, why
they
don't
know
right
from
wrong,
and
why
it
doesn't
bother
them
to
kill
strangers,
their
classmates,
and
themselves.
Probably,
if
we
think
about it
long
and
hard
enough, we
can
figure
it
out.
I
think
it
has
a
great
deal to
do
with
"WE
REAP
WHAT
WE
SOW."
Funny
how
simple
it
is for
people
to
trash
God and
then
wonder
why
the
world's
going
to
hell.
Funny
how
we
believe what
the
newspapers
say, but
question
what
the
Bible
says.
Funny
how
you
can
send
jokes'
through
e-mail
and
they
spread like
wildfire,
but
when you
start
sending
messages
regarding
the
Lord,
people
think
twice
about
sharing.
Funny
how
lewd,
crude, vulgar
and
obscene
articles
pass
freely
through
cyberspace,
but
public
discussion
of
God
is
suppressed
in
the
school and
workplace.
Funny
how
someone
can
be so
fired
up
for
Christ on
Sunday,
but
be
an invisible
Christian the
rest
of
the
week!
Are
you
laughing? Funny
how
when
you
forward
this
message, you
will
not
send
it to
many
on
your
address list
because
you're
not sure
what
they
believe, or
what
they
WILL
think of
you
for
sending
it.
Funny
how
we
can
be more
worried
about
what other
people
think
of
us
than
what
God
thinks
of
us.
Pass
it
on
if
you
think it
has
merit.
If
not
then
just
discard
it... No
one
will
know
you
did. But,
if
you
discard
this thought
process, don't
sit
back
and complain
about
what bad
shape
the
world
is
in. "Good
friends
are
like
stars.........You
don't
always
see
them,
but
you
know
they
are
always
there!
