Since March 2003, over 28,000 of our sol diers have been wounded. An appalling 3,800 American sol diers have lost their lives. Who is to blame for their deaths? Donald Trump, interviewed on Larry King Live, said their blood was on the hands of President George W Bush. To stress his point, Trump sharp ly contrasted the photo of Jeanna Bush, the daughter, and her fiance depicted on the front page of a newspaper with another engagement announcement in the same paper which pictured an American soldier with his wife to be. “The young man’s face was practically blown off,” said Trump. Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez, former commander of U. S. forces in Iraq, now retired, accused the Bush administra tion of sending American sol diers off to war based on “cata strophically flawed data.” The recent outburst from Rep. Pete Stark against the President has incurred the ire of the Republican Party. When the House failed to over ride the President’s veto of the popular State Children’s Health Insurance Program, Stark accused Republicans of funding the Iraq war but not children’s health. “You don’t have money to fund our children,” Stark declared. “But you’re going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement.” Many throughout history have tried to wash spilt blood from their hands. The most famous was Pontius Pilate, Living in a world of do's, don'ts My husband and I have always enjoyed children visiting our home. Despite my strict disci pline, the youngsters always seem to enjoy spending time with us. My mind goes back to a young great-nephew who found himself being constantly cautioned ... “DON’T!” while visiting with us. To distract his attention from things off limits, toys and gadgets were made available in a designated play area. Exploring the surroundings, the little fellow became inter ested in a particular object. Remembering to examine with eyes only, he wisely inquired, “What’s that Uncle Robert . . . a don’t?” On another occasion during the visit of an energetic young ster, I resorted to a fly swat ter that dangled from a string around my neck. Proving his ability to distinguish between the “Do’s and Don’ts”, our young visitor was spared the flyswatter. Adults, like chil dren, are exposed to compara ble situations.

Before sentencing Jesus to death, Pilate washed his hands with water in front of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man’s blood.” Because David had too much blood on his hands, God did not allow him to build the temple. David had sent Uriah off to war and sudden death so he could possess his wife, Bathsheba. Judas Iscariot, unable to cope with the blood guilt of Jesus’ crucifixion, hung himself. On the literary front, in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, while in a state of manic sleepwalking and sensing blood on her hands for her role in the murder of Duncan, the king of Scotland, uttered the famous line “Out Damn Spot!” A minister, as he concluded worship services, told his con gregation to be sure to come next Sunday to hear his mes sage on Jesus’ crucifixion. He promised to set-up a casket for viewing that contained the person responsible for the Lord’s death. After his sermon the fol lowing Sunday, he allowed the parishioners to walk by in single file and to peer into the casket to see who killed the Lord. On the floor of the casket was a mirror. As the church members looked inside the casket, , they saw their own images reflected in the mir ror. Who was responsible for Jesus’ death on the cross? It was my sins and your sins. BKfflHfc. / / aWJ of “Do’s and Don’ts,” we must care fully choose that which is permis sible. As we make our choices, we know to expect dis- cipline from the One who cre ated us. But isn’t it wonderful to know that God grants us more freedom than my little visitors were allowed! Isn’t it wonderful He does not follow us around with a fly swatter ready to whack us each time we get out of line? If He were such a God, I suspect it would take something stron ger than a fly swatter to get my attention at times. Isn’t it wonderful that God is patient, loving, understand ing and forgiving with us as we learn to distinguish between the “Do’s and Don’ts” of life? The Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations. ” - Psalms 100:5 , *N’ MORE , .©SOD ©KEG * "Quality Uniforms At aßif ■ AFFORDABLE PRICES!" ; Tj Bring Thi/ Ad Rnd| Uy I Receive 15 Orel 4025 Watson Blvd. Ste. 220 I Galleria Square, Warner Robin* [ss4^o^ LONGHORN BUTCHER SHOP your Hometown butcher Since 1976 1207 Sunset Ave. • Perry Plaza Perry, GA 31069 55485 Lee Lasseler Greer l.asseter Billy Powell Columnist Earline Cole Reflections 05711, 55487 478-987-5711
