You see, taking care of the poor and needy and each other is what Jesus told us to do. I’ve been apart of many small Churches where after that was preached we’d all look around and say, “Great, let’s go find some poor folks to help!” When you look around, you find that they are all on welfare, already getting food stamps and don’t really have any need of you. Exceptions to those in immediate disasters and chronically homeless or mentally challenged. This has caused the churches in this country to be adrift.

I remember my grandmother telling that before FDR, her family would spend all day Sunday visiting shut-ins and bringing food to those in need. I also remember reading in the John Adams biography that when his dad was a deacon, a widow who had nowhere to go was to be taken in by him and his wife and Mrs. Adams, John’ mama, pitched a royal fit about it.

But you see, in this country the burden of helping those in need fell on the churches, who would get to know each individuals situation, whether they needed mental help, moral help, or were just conning the church. The government has no way to judge what everyone’s individual situation is.

Anyhow, I guess I should start my own blog- gee whiz. I guess to summarize, the Amish are so far behind, they are ahead.

Oh, wait… I live in Canada. I already live the whole federal healthcare debacle thing. Run, America, run! It’s too late fore me, but save yourselves!
