Gambling
Great insight on gambling tonight at church. I love that "you learn something new every day" moment! I've never been much for gambling myself, but I have always remained somewhat aloof to the subject because of my disinterest. I will be as bold to say that the gambling industry is a cancer to our small towns and cities. It is used by the government as a way to make extra revenue, but at what cost? The bankruptcy of our middle to lower income citizens. The death of some small businesses? How you may ask? Well if I'm spending my paycheck away gambling then how can I afford to support other local business by being a normal consumer? Gambling is not an addiction for everyone, but has the potential. Sad thing is that the industry preys on the weak. I am not educated enough about the subject to rant on and on about it, but I see what's going on. We as Christians bee to be educated even if we are interested or not. If no one stands up for what is right, then the dirt creeps in. Stop telling your self your vote or your voice doesn't matter because that statement is only true if you refuse to give it. Great info all around. Check out the segment on addictive gambling shown on 60 minutes.
