Jesus’ parable still holds true today, in countless families and individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people get to experience the joyful ending, with the words,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This, my son, was lost and is found—was dead and is alive.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, we have proudly added an atrocious distortion, publicly—<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Rejoice with me, for this, my son, was alive, and is now dead—was created, and is now destroyed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So sad, so wicked, so many people in places of prominence, actually take pride in rejoicing over the death of our babies who were alive, and are now dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With no remorse—with no apology—with no satisfaction—with never enough—with insatiable, religious fervor demanding more and more of the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We forget the ending—BUT GOD . . . !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just read a remembrance article by George Faithful from January 27, 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
