Our culture is being undermined by hateful people who mock and deride everything that we are.

People can do what they want, when they want and when their lifestyles suit them. People can work when it suits them and earn money for their families to enjoy things. Parents can work when their children aren't there and be there for them when they are. Surely it should be our choice to decide when our day of rest should be and how we spend it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-14276057917929242652010-05-24T23:48:57.279+00:002010-05-24T23:48:57.279+00:00Try going to a beach.Try going to a beach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17278382.post-80410652528732665642010-05-24T20:01:28.213+00:002010-05-24T20:01:28.213+00:00With both the Free Church and Church of Scotland&#...With both the Free Church and Church of Scotland's numbers going down, you would think they would try to connect with the people- not drive a wedge between them.
