salvation army post #3

This reminds me of Blood, Sweat & Tears the band my parents are into.

Friday night blog sesh anyone? As far as the Salvation Army goes, I'm intrigued. I had no idea the organization was so Jesus-y. Um, I guess pulling into a church parking lot was a dead giveaway. I find religion fascinating and cRaZyYYYYYY. If an organization is doing good for others by way of faith and in a respectful manner I'm all for it. However, if the motivations behind a groups deeds are to fulfill an agenda, BOO! That's dumb in my opinion. Others will argue, who cares about an agenda as long as they are getting the job done? I dunno. If an earthquake trampled my home, livelihood and family the only thing on my mind would be survival, my loved ones and the bare necessities. Not scripture or God's ultimate plan. Prayer is a personal journey and if the afflicted find solace in doing so that is their decision.

Would you willingly read a blog about the Salvation Army? I wouldn't. How much can be said? "Salvation army started in blah blah blah. I sorted yellow balls. They have a pretty decent facility. Volunteer your time. It makes you feel good because you contribute a priceless gift to your community. They help alcoholics." Perhaps it's our paltry attempt at spreading awareness which is cool but trying to motivate others is questionable. I find people who want to help have the match lit under their asses already. Listening to me garble on about the cause is...well, sad.
