Well, maybe I’m the one who’s wrong. With that, I’ll leave you to your own idea of what I’m about to say.

The dinosaurs became extinct, and I don’t miss them. And was it the Spotted Owl…was that the name of the little critter that cost a lot of loggers their jobs up in our Northwest because it was about to become extinct? And at this writing, there’s a big push on TV for you to send 16 dollars to help save the Polar Bears.

Here’s my queston: what will they do with the thousands of 16 dollar checks that will be sent to them. Send ice to the North Pole? Probably thousands of creatures have come and gone before scientists could discover they even existed. Should we send money?

Folks, my thinking is that a lot of people are worked up about these things and are missing the boat on more important things. Like the homeless, the orphans, children with cancer…children right here in our own community who have never heard about Jesus Christ. And what’s more important than that.

When the woman anointed his feet with her tears and dried them with her hair, onlookers found fault because that expensive ointment could have fed a bunch of people. But they weren’t feeding any people. Jesus pointed out that “the poor ye have with you always,” but He wasn’t ignoring the needy…he was on His way to the Cross, and her act was a prophecy, as it were.

Let’s do the important things first. All creatures were made for humans, not the other way around. Think about it.
