I started this page as a way to try and get the public involved with local elections and or politics. But the main goal was a form of transparency which all forms of government lack. Some might say it is because of laws against speaking out against things, but I don't buy it. What's right is right and what's wrong is not.
Here lately the only news worthy of posting is arrest, people being caught not filing their taxes properly while making sure we pay ours as we should. To someone else stealing money and get caught.
Over the past few years I have experienced families I attend church with being involved in child molestation cases. Many have heard the most recent news of a case with 70 counts here in Sylvester.
I will be honest I would rather not speak on it, but then I am no better than anyone else who brushes things under the table.
I knew this man, fairly well I thought, but apparently did not know him as well as I thought. Part of me thinks maybe he turned his life around being these claims are from 2016. But I am not God, and forgetting about what was obviously done to a child/children is not something I can do.
I will be the first to admit I am not a kid person, I love my own and will step up to help where I can because the world lacks people willing to do the things the kids in our community need/deserve.
But I will never remain silent or tolerate someone taking the innocence of a child. These are God's children we have been given the opportunity to have an impact in their lives. We all fall short in some way or another. We all have things in our lives that not everyone knows. But I have zero sympathy for an adult that takes advantage of a child.
As a Christian we are taught we should pray for people in these situations, and I will pray for the children. But I must admit I can't bring myself to pray for someone who harms an innocent child. I may have shade thrown on me for admitting this but I am thick skinned and can handle it.
A church is a hospital, but if you are actively doing things such as harming a child and attending church regularly you are of the devil.
No matter how hard it may be for me to do so, I will continue to speak out against things that are not right. And try to do so in a way that is somewhat tactful and not tacky.
In a world filled with people who refuse to step up to the plate and do what is needed, I will be that person each and every time. I am not perfect, and don't want anyone to think I am.
The truth will set you free, be honest with yourself first. Then you can become honest with those around you.
70 counts of molestation,sodomy, etc won't go well in prison. One things for sure prisoners have more morals in this regard than some who are free. May God have mercy on the soul of this man and the children that were victims!
