When I was a child I remember riding my bike to the local circle K and it was not just down the street. I remember going around the neighborhood trick or treating and knocking on doors of people that I did not know. I remember selling girl scout cookies to the neighbors. I remember knowing my neighbors.
Our World has changed and not for the better.
Yesterday dozens of people were injured or killed because they were at the grocery store in AZ and listening to a congresswoman who was supposed to be listening to them. I am sick. This is a crazy world.
I teach children that go home to houses with no heat, no water, no lights, and crack and other drugs on the tables. I teach children that know where to go to get beer, and lord knows what else, but can't make me a list of restaurants, cause they never eat out.
I teach kids that know who lives in the projects and who needs to go to get locked up and where to go to get money to get people out of jail. I do not even know that.
Poverty is here in our country. Poverty is breeding these awful situations. We are not holding people accountable for their lives.
Let's not give the homeless guy with a great voice the celebrity time. Let us see that he has not been the best of people and make him work for the money. There are some ten of his offspring that are owed some child support. Or should I say the women in his life have taken care of his children.'
Let's make our world one we are proud of. I am always reminded of the story in the bible of the fish. If you give a man the fish he will eat for a day. If your teach him to fish he will eat for a lifetime.
Let's Teach..........
Peace
Good thoughts Angie!
