Obituary for Common Sense

Beloved:

“Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, COMMON SENSE, who has been with us and benefitted us greatly. COMMON SENSE lived a long life, but died from heart failure recently. None really knows how old he was since his birth records were lost long ago in bureaucratic red tape. He selflessly devoted his life to service in schools, hospitals, homes, factories, ministries, local churches and offices, helping folks all the time everywhere he went. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; that life is not fair; and that maybe it was my fault.'

"COMMON SENSE lived by simple sound financial policies: don’t spend more than you earn or have and reliable parenting strategies: adults, not children are in charge! You are to be smarter, wiser, and with more experience than your child: act like a parent, not just a friend! He watched in pain as good people became ruled by self-seeking lawyers and political correctness. His health rapidly deteriorated when schools endlessly implemented zero tolerance policies like when a six year old boy was charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, or when a teenager was suspended for using mouthwash after lunch, or when a teacher was fired for reprimanding an unruly student, or when schools had to get parental consent to give a student an aspirin, but was forbidden to notify the parents when a student was pregnant or wanted an abortion.'

"COMMON SENSE lost ground when parents attacked decent teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in the home with their unruly children, or when parents resented those who turned in their children for crimes while they turned their backs or had no clue what their children were doing.'

"COMMON SENSE lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became unlawful to post; that churches had become businesses; and criminals received the advantage and better treatment than the victims. COMMON SENSE took a beating when you could not defend yourself from a burglar in your own home, and if you did, the burglar could sue you for assault.'

"COMMON SENSE was preceded in death by his parents, TRUTH and TRUST; his wife DISCRETION; his daughter, RESPONSIBILITY; and his son LOYALTY. He is survived by three step-brothers: I know my Rights; Someone Else is to Blame; and I’m a Whiner. Not many people attended his funeral because so few realized that he was gone. His place in life will be missed, but he has been replaced by another family of a different sort: UNCOMMON SENSE, whose middle name is NO. He said to refer to himself by his middle name: NO SENSE!” (ANONYMOUS).

Bless YOU! YOUR Faithful Love, Prayers and Gifts sustain this Revival Ministry. I love YOU dearly in our Wonderful LORD JESUS.

Now a word from His Word: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”--Isaiah 5:20 (KJV).
