Here is an email I got that really makes you think about things

Well I received this poem from a friend and I thought I would share it with everyone cause it really does hit home.

Please read through this short poem and also the comments at the end.

'Twas the month before Christmas when all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying nor taking a stand.
Why the PC Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a " Holiday .
" Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets are hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-is-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate "Winter Break" under your "DreamTree"
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully,
choose what you say Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, NOT Happy Holiday !



Each time I enter a store this year, and over the past few years, the absence of the true meaning of Christmas has been so evident to me that the Holy Spirit within me is deeply grieved. I hope you'll contemplate what you've read here, and TAKE A STAND for Christianity. Please don't just sit back and complacently allow our faith to be suppressed in this great country which was FOUNDED on that faith. As is evident, we are no longer the great country we once were, and we continue to decline as a society. If we are not careful and don't INSIST that God be given His place in our country, I believe He will allow those who desire to eliminate Him from our society to be successful. Remember, "Without Me, you can do NOTHING" (John 15:5) and, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me". (Philippians 4:13) Please, don't be afraid to stand up for CHRIST this CHRISTmas, and always! WISE men STILL seek Him!! MERRY CHRISTMAS! In His Love.-- Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
