Email trauma...

Please humor me and let me vent about another pet peeve of mine. I love emails, love them! I even love the little poems and pictures and story forwards that make you laugh and cry. What I don’t like, really can’t stand if you must know the truth, is the little tag lines at the bottom of some of these that say, “If you don’t forward this to at least 10 people something horrid is going to happen to you” or even worse “If you don’t forward this to at least 10 people God isn’t going bless you” or even the watered down version that virtually means the same thing “If you forward this to 10 people then God WILL bless you.” I don’t think God’s ability to bless me is dependent upon email. I don’t like to manipulate people with fear of horrid consequences or the risk of missing their Heavenly blessing. So please when we get one of those lovely emails that we want to forward on- take a moment and delete those horrid tag lines. Can’t we replace those lines with something nice and pleasant and uplifting?? Humor me.
