last week i shared that we were spending the week in vbs. this story got picked up by nashville is talking, which i continually become amused by what gets picked up by nit. because of my lack of blog time last week i never noticed that it was put in circulation, so today i was intrigued in reading the various comments (warning: pg-13 language at times). shameful to say i was introduced to a new word and Christian practice of "tracts." now, i knew that people would hand out little pamphlets. i think i got a few when i was last in new orleans for mardi gras. however, i never knew they were a named practice. so when i was looking at this site i was amused to see one of their little banner slogans "equipping Christians with relevant tools."
with this i had to ask.. are these things actually "relevant tools?" me, i'd have to say no.
it's even worse to read some of the stories of people leaving them behind and looking like a large amount of money.. what message does that send? seems like a bait and switch to me, we know you want this but we are going to give you this.
