…and it makes me wonder

I was in church a few weeks ago, and at the end of mass a young lady came to the podium and wanted to talk to everyone about a group that helped her. She told her story of being a wild kid, and said that she was pregnant at 17, then again at 19. Now, however, thanks to the group, at 22 she was married to the father of her children and couldn’t be happier. What angels they were! They really helped me overcome lots of obstacles. Please help if you can.

I looked into the eyes of the baby I was holding. Her mom went to prison for fraud, and left her at the age of two months with her girlfriend, an alcoholic crack addict who was also a prostitute. Luckily a local businessman realized what happened and called the authorities. They found the baby living in a trashed apartment, and her “guardian” replied to queries about her drinking with “only when I can.” There was no formula in the house, and she had no job.

Would this group of angels had helped? Or does the church have such a problem with promiscuity, drug use, prostitution, and homosexuality that they would have just turned their back on her?

I wonder.

Funny?

There was this young lady who was five feet three inches tall and pleasantly plump.

After she had a minor accident, her mother accompanied her to the emergency room. When the triage nurse asked for her height and weight, she blurted out, “Five-foot-eight and 125 pounds.”

While the nurse pondered this information, her Mom leaned over and said, “Sweetheart, this is not the Internet.”

$94,000

A court in China’s southern boomtown of Shenzhen has fined a couple 780,000 yuan ($94,250) and sealed off their house for having more than one child, the Beijing Morning Post said Monday.

The pair were among nine couples who were fined “social fostering fees” for their extra children, the newspaper said. They had their first boy in 1997 and last year had twin boys, the newspaper said.
