Lit Up Like a Parade - The Mother's Story

There are many reasons I don't do the party scene and have really never desired to do it. But this puts the icing on the cake. Yeah I know some will say you just can't look at this experience and judge it all. That's fine I'm not judging nor will I judge this guy in the story below. But I do know one day all will stand before God...

Matthew 12:36
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgement for every careless word they have spoken.

Please take some time and read the story below...

As for the guy, I hope he eventually reads this story and has a reality check on what he has done.

As for the little girl, I'll gladly step aside...
Matthew 20:16
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen

As for the Christians lets get real and stop dabbling in our sinful nature...
Galatians 5:16-26
16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
 19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
 22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
