Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God, as we understand Him?  I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too.  But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to..

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (Regarding Hurricane Katrina). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.  She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. 

 And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.  How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.  I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.  

Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school.  The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself.  And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide).  We said an expert should know what he's talking about.  And we said okay.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.  I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.  Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.  Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.  Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Pass it on if you think it has merit.

If not, then just discard it... no one will know you did,, only God!  But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.  

My Best Regards, Honestly and Respectfully,

Ben Stein

Starting with all 2010 SDV programs, we will be offering a NEW DISCOUNT PROGRAM to help you SAVE MONEY on your Scrapper's Dream Vacation.  When you make your payments, if you mail a check or money order instead of using a check or debit card, we will reward you with a 5% Discount off of each payment.

EXAMPLE # 1:  If you choose package # 2B @ $420.00 and you mail in a check for your required $75.00 deposit, we will apply a discount of $3.75 to your account (5% of $75.00).  This will leave you with a new balance due of $341.25.  If you mail a check for that amount by the discount deadline date, we will apply an additional 5% discount of $17.06 and you will have saved a total of $20.81.

EXAMPLE # 2:  If you choose package # 1D @ $289.00 and you mail in a check for the entire amount at once, we will apply a 5% discount of $14.45 to your account.

Either way, that is a TOTAL 5% SAVINGS!

When you pay your package balance with a check or money order, we will apply the earned discount to your account which will show you have a credit due (in parenthesis) . You can choose to apply this to classes or extra space (where available) that you may sign up for. If you do not use your credit at the SDV, then we will transfer your credit to your SDV Savings after the event is completed. 

RULE # 1:  The 5% Discount applies to your SDV package only, and is not applicable towards classes, extra space, or on-site purchases.  Even though you can choose to apply your final credit towards these items, they will not be used to calculate your final discount.

RULE # 2:  For every SDV, there will be a pre-determined deadline date for the Discount Program.  The date will be posted on the event info page for that particular SDV. In order to receive the 5% Discount, all checks or money orders must be postmarked by the Discount deadline date. No exceptions.

Please Remember:  There will be a $25.00 penalty fee added to your account balance for any checks returned for Insufficient Funds.

Mail your check or money order to:
