taking my stand....
Gosh, it's been too long since I've posted.....bad blogger!
Well, I might as well get controversial right off the bat!
I got an email from a "conservative watchdog" site that claimed Walmart had joined and contributed to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, a.k.a. the NGLCC, and that they were now promoting homosexual marriages and giving preferential treatment to homosexual vendors.
Being that I am NOT an alarmist, I thought it best to verify any and all claims before reacting, which I did.
I called Walmart headquarters and spoke to the assistant to the President, Lee Scott, and told her the reasons for my call.
She verified all the claims were correct, except the preferential treatment, which she would not verify or deny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was shocked!!!!!!!!!!!
I really thought that she would deny it all and say it was a rumor and that would be that.
But, NOOOOOOOOOO.......
Here's the problem, as I see it: Walmart, being the largest retailer in the world,
has sold it's soul to the devil.
They believe in nothing and stand for nothing all for the love of money, which is the root of all evil.
They tolerate everybody, every cause, everything, every potential shopper.
I went to ours the other day and found a man in front asking for donations to "The church of rescued animals".
Makes sense to me now.....
Well, I told the assistant that since I am a born-again Christian and I believe that marriage is to be between one man and one woman, as stated in our Constituion and instituted by God, therefore, if Walmart is promoting this idea which goes against the laws of our Land and our God, that I cannot give anymore of my money to them.
I got off the phone and cried....I know, it's silly, but I love Walmart.
I had a choice to make: would I stand for the right thing and refuse to shop Walmart or would I sell out, too, just like they did?
It took only moments to decide what to do.....duh!!!!
My daughters were looking at me to see what I would do.
It was....not hard to tell them that we would no longer shop Walmart AND we need to encourage our Christian community to do the same.
In the book of Ezekiel it says, "and I looked for someone to stand on the wall, to stand in the gap before Me and My land, and I found no one."
I want to stand in the gap before God and say, "THIS IS WRONG!!!!"
I want to stand for SOMETHING!!!!!!
I want my children to stand for God's Truth.
I have to be the example for them.
Anyhoo, if this is "sufferin for Jesus", then bring it on, cuz, in my opinion, our Christain community is lazy and complacent.
Did you know that nation wide, the homosexual community represents 1%?
Don't you think that we, as Christians, represent MUCH more than that?
"If My people, who are called by My name, will turn from their wicked ways and humble themselves and pray, then I will heal their land."\
IT IS TIME TO MAKE A STAND!!!!!!
This country was founded on Christian principles and we have lost our way.
