I continue to receive e-mails that totally blast Barack Obama. They've gone anywhere from saying he wants to turn the US into a Muslim nation to the most recent claiming he snubbed soldiers while visiting Iraq in July.
I think e-mail is a great way to disseminate information. Truth-full information, that is. And, speaking of that, as Christ-followers we claim to follow the way, the truth and the life, and yet we send on e-mails defaming someone's compassion and character without once checking to see if we got our facts straight, plenty willing to believe the worst about "those liberals". Come on folks! Do a little research before entering more e-mail addresses and pressing "send".
Caveat - I know not all Christians vote conservative and those that don't are less like to send these on...so I do realize that I'm not speaking about all Christians
If you don't know where to start your research, try the Snopes website.

Hi, Amy!! Was thinking of you this morning, and realized it had been far too long since I popped by to say hi... catching up on your posts and loving the new look! (That is a GREAT picture of you, by the way.) :)
Snopes is a lovely website... I suppose I have friends who tired of me sending them links to it, but at least they quit forwarding junk...lol. :)
Hey, good for you on reading the HP books so quickly! I'm about to start my annual read-through myself. :) J.K. Rowling is brilliant, pretty much.
Anyway, I could jabber on, but I won't. :) enjoy the last week of your summer break!
love,
Happy
Hi, Happy. It's so nice to hear from you! And thanks for the complement.
Yes, I have come to love Snopes. It's interesting how much junk comes along that could so easily be prevented.
Regarding HP, I think I'll join you on the yearly read, but next time take it more slowly. That's the story of my life, though!
hey amy, i just wrote about this, too, i so had my limit! hope you are good and looking forward to hanging out in a few months at off the map! kathy
