Superstition

This week at the women's prayer meeting, Lucy asked that we pray for all the children. She said because our children don't wear the charms and we don't make sacrifices for the protection of our children we must pray extra hard. Every time a Christian child falls sick the town uses it as an excuse, it was because they weren't wearing charms. It's because the family didn't make sacrifices. The truth is that life happens to us all, the good and the bad. Life is full of inconsistencies here. People want to have all their bases covered. So they cover their windows with charms and put crosses over their doors. They make sacrifices and hang the bones on the walls along side their posters of the president who will save them and their country. Believe in all of it. Something good will happen to you. It's only a few people, who reject the charms and the symbols for believe in a God who is bigger than it all.
