pandora_parrotNote, this entry was originally published on my old blog back in 2004. I have ported it here for completion.
I'm not one for pointing out positive things very often. Dunno why. But since most of my family and friends are Christians, I thought I'd put this note here for them:
Today, my father-in-law set up a visit to nursing home. He got his entire nuclear family, Kelly and I, and a few others to come and "minister" to the nursing home people. This entailed singing Christmas Carols, playing music, and reading bible stories to the elderly patrons of the home.
This is the sort of thing that I wish was more prevalent in Christianity in general. THIS is the good that Christianity needs to find. Not legislating against the ability of people to marry their loved ones, but going out there and making someone's day better. I pray to the Goddess that someday Christians realize that this is more in concert with their deity's New Testament actions than the other stuff they do.
