We are really in trouble. I mean it.

When I eat or don’t eat at Chick-fil-A, my decision is fraught with the the thought, “What if my church denomination finds out I’m not eating there?”

What if I don’t watch “Duck Dynasty?”

Or, worse, what if I do?

I am not kidding. We are in real trouble. Putting a coin in the Salvation Army kettle or withholding it has a political message. Eating or not eating somewhere has a political message. Now… what we watch or don’t watch.

What if I don’t eat at Chick-fil-A because I don’t care for injecting fats into my system so quickly?

What if I don’t watch “Duck Dynasty” because I don’t have cable? Or, I just don’t like the show? 

What if I volunteer ringing for Salvation Army because I like the idea of helping some organization do something for the poor?

Every turn we take right now has a political implication… the meme’s we post… or don’t post… on Facebook…

Oh, dear Lord, what if I don’t even know what a “meme” is????

We’re just in trouble. Deep trouble.

I can’t even figure out if I should type my ending as “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays!”
