Almost forgot...

This is something I tripped over while looking for terrible Christmas Gifts and it struck me as funny:

The card actually says, please pray for Jolene Gregory, helping turn lost students inot Christ-centered laborers.  Wait, what?  Does that even make sense? So she's taking people in school and turning them into laborers?  My first reaction is Jolene isn't helping the future of the  economy.  Christ-centered?  Okay, so only Christians can labor?  See this is what gets me about all the missionary things, they're always trying to change people, trying to spread Christianity to people who already have a religion or may be Christians worshipping in a different denomination. Where's the regard for their religion, their customs, their academic studies, huh, where is that Jolene? Whatever it is, why are you forcing religion on these people.  More over, why aren't you doing that "good work" in the Middle East?  I don't see a lot of missionary programs to Iraq, Iran, Syria or Palestine.  Come on Jolene, I'm not saying, but I'm saying...

I wish Jolene luck in whatever it is she's suppose to be doing.

This is confidentially ludicrous to send out to promote your organization, expect Mr. Ricky's card to look similar next year...
