Terribly Wrong
By GARY TOOLE
You know something has gone terribly wrong when they have to promote Family Table Day to get folks to eat together at least one day a year.

And there's something very terribly wrong when an advertisement shows the father and the children coming home with a bucket of fried chicken and the mother says, "Oh yes, I can check that one off too," as she marks off "family eat together" from her to do list.

That commercial almost made me angry and there's absolutely almost no discipline and the oneeyed monster is brainwashing the entire world to believe that you can have a functional family and operate in that kind of way. Talk about dysfunctional families. No wonder because they've been watching too much television until they've lost touch with reality.

One commercial shows a boy taking a two liter drink from out of the refrigerator and shaking it until when he takes the cap off it spews all over creation. Instead of saying, "Why Johnny, didn't you know better than that," and then wipe it up with the paper towels they were advertising, she said to him, "Now, this works much better," and begins to shoot water all over everything from the sink spray hose.

I Thought, "Something is terribly wrong because they have lost their ever-loving mind." Some say, "Oh don't take it too seriously," but the devil works in very subtle ways and he's using technology to destroy folks. So, what do you do? Stay in the word and follow the word, watch less television, read good stuff more (not necessarily celebrity writings,) attend church more than on Sunday morning, click away from stupid commercials and follow the attributes and disciplinary measures of the Bible.

And last, but not least, no matter what Americans had better, go back to the old paths. Some of the old ways and to do that we don't have to do away with technology. Just let God and His word lead us; not technology.
