Last night at church, the pastor issued a plea for a new couple, Jose and Mary, who were evicted and needed a place to stay until they get back on their feet. They are just recently moved here, and she’s pregnant — nine months. Can you believe that?
Why would they get pregnant without lots of dough stashed away in the bank? They no doubt don’t have health insurance, so it’s a typical case of taking advantage of the system. People need to be more responsible and stop looking for handouts.
I am voting for our family to NOT pitch it. We can’t simply help every time there’s a need. The way I see it, every dime that goes to charity is one less for my Christmas presents, and I’m hoping for the biggest haul ever this year!
Why don’t Mary and Jose go to THEIR parents. I’ll bet not even Santa Claus will give them anything. They probably didn’t behave themselves.
But the worst thing is that Mom and Dad talked about letting them stay at our house, at least on the couch. That’s creepy! Can you imagine running into the living room to open my goodies bright and early Christmas morning — and these strangers are there. What if they run off with the gifts during the night and disappear? Let them go to some homeless shelter to give birth there.
**** “Manual,” the fictitious persona of the Wimpy Christian, thanks the Wimpy Kid for his attitude and applies it to the church.
Not nice of that wimpy person.not nice at all…
He’s a slouch. His purpose is to expose the unchristian attitudes lurking in the church (especially among ungrateful youth).
Manuel….Manuel. Sigh. Have a great Christmas anyway, dear one! 😉
Hahahahahah!
Great!!!! Thanks for that…pulls us back to reality into our world! Have a very Merry Christmas!!!! 😀
Merry Christmas!
Joke or not I still believe people need to control their fertility.
No doubt there is room to discuss that issue, but in reality this post casts in another direction and only mentions the fertility incidentally. I’m surprised that no one has picked up on the Jose and Mary reference!
I get it
This is wonderfully written and captured my attention (and smile) right from the start. You have another follower! Cheers and Merry Christmas! 🙂
Merry Christmas!
Wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2013!

Whoa! Dude! That’s awesome! Thanks so much!
Youth are not the only ungrateful ones. God has convicted me this year of ungratefulness more times than I care to recount.
