The ACLU Sucks

Recently I got to be a little part in a big thing that could have been bigger and better had the ACLU not made it harder for christians to do good things for the poor and oppressed of our society. It's a shame when you have to sneak around to do good deeds. Locally some christians spear-headed an event to help some of the "down and out" folks in the community. They involved probably about five different churches mixed with high school volunteers and local businesses that made donations. The volunteers were easily in excess of a hundred people. A lot of food was purchased, donated, cooked and prepared for give away to show Christ's love. Coats and clothes were collected from churches and random citizens that heard about the event. Toys were purchased and donated to give away to those going through difficult times. A Christmas program was set up and put on to show the love to friends in the community that didn't even know they had friends. ---I could go on and on. It was great...but there was one catch...one hang up. The folks that came to receive the blessing was a minimal number. Because of recent events in SRC schools and nationally, it is getting harder and harder for christians to do what they ought to be doing. To be sure no rules or laws are violated it has become a tricky situation...a tight-rope walk to invite the very people that school officials know are the needy. When 90% of kids are on the free lunch program, there is a need! But the school officials that care for the children all through the week have their hands tied when it comes to publicly inviting families to a good thing. ---I thank those officials that care. I thank those volunteers that did their best. As for the ACLU, you suck.
