The Grinch Is At It Again!

Our Thoughts:

I often listen to talk shows in our vicinity, or perhaps in surrounding states, when I'm on the road. Today happened to be one of those days. I find that you learn lots of things, when you switch on the radio in the car! And, today was no different.

You've heard plenty of talk about 'separation of church and state' - making sure that Christianity doesn't GROW where someone doesn't want it. I was shocked to hear what the GRINCH's latest work was about! Can you imagine no Christmas trees in a business, in the hospital lobbies, and not even in the fire halls around the city? Well, get used to it. If it has come to our town of Birmingham, be sure, it will soon be in your city. What happened is this - a man that I called GRINCH has decided that this is a symbol of Christianity; therefore, it has no place in those areas that I mentioned above. This guy wasn't very well-informed, to think that the Christmas tree has any place in Christianity. Sure, it's a tradition with us in America, and other parts of the world, but it has not one thing to do with Christianity. So, to remove the Christmas trees, while leaving the wreaths and lights, makes absolutely no sense. But, when did being 'politically correct' make any sense?

The Grinch might take the trees away, but he can't steal Christmas, as the movie says. The reason for the season is Jesus Christ, and he resides in our hearts. Take away the trees, and next the wreaths and lights, but you can't take Jesus from our hearts.
