Families Rallied

Growing up in a small town was a blessing.  At Easter time families rallied around the School for events concerning the death and resurrection of Christ.  We would be loaded onto School buses after lunch and driven down to the Paramount Theatre to watch a stage play of the Crucifixion right out of the scriptures.  No, there was no Easter egg hunt or silly stories read to us about that ol' Peter cottontail rabbit.  It was a time for children to see what Easter was all about.  The Paramount theatre hosted the event every year free of charge to everyone.  Oh, how I loved those times of Christian values that no longer exist in a post-modern world of blasphemy against God.

In the 1950's we never heard a gunshot in school and such a thing would never even be thought of!  My heart goes out to the Parents of the seventeen victims in the Florida school shooting.  It's hard to believe that it has been two weeks since it happened.  Easter is near and Christ will not be honored in that school or any other Public School for that matter.  

My mind wanders back to those days when the Ten Commandments hung in the School hallway and Bibles laid on the desks of teachers.  The Schools have been suffering now for a long time now as we live in a day where Satan rules the school system.  Evolution has taken the place of the living God and there are no more sounds of joyous children being loaded onto buses to watch a play about the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.
