How babies can fight bullying!

This article, by Pete Grey who is a peer of mine, explains in quite detail how babies can combat bullying!  Here is the first paragraph, which is quite moving, followed by a link to the full article.

"We humans are endowed by natural selection (or by God, if you prefer) with contradictory drives and emotions. We are wired to be selfish, mean, and violent; and we are also wired to be generous, compassionate, and loving. The human drama--that runs through all religions, through all major accounts of history, and through the greatest and truest works of fiction--revolves around this duplex nature of ours. The devil and the angel are wrapped in a single skin. Our salvation depends always on our ability to feed the angel and starve the devil. This is no easy task. There are no sure routes to success. But our greatest assistants in this task may be babies and young children. That is the thesis of this essay."

I think we all should take a few moments out of our day and read these profound words, and reflect on how we can change our bullying ways in our culture.
I suggest that Chris Hassel read this a few times over, then admit what an utterly distasteful and ugly thing he did by posting pictures of innocent babies and making fun of them!  I believe his salvation depends highly on his asking our forgiveness of his actions.
What say you Chris Hassel?

I hope Chris Hassel reacts this way;








Now for some football loving Angels!  These two will not sleep well unless the teams from Iowa bring home big bowl victories tomorrow!  








Go teams!!!
