Sometimes people do the right thing

[SunnySong]

Quote from article below...

"The boy's father contacted the pastor of the church to tell him about the allegations.

According to the boy's father, the pastor told him, "If you don't call the Child Abuse Hotline, I need to." The boy's father immediately called and opened an investigation by a child protection investigator and the St. Petersburg Police Department."

While the headline is the usual religous volunteer molests child it was nice to see people doing the right thing. I just wish it wasn't buried so.

1. And sometimes people get struck by lightening

Fortunately, both happen so rarely that I need to worry about neither

2. What are you saying, Oregone?

That you need not worry about doing the right thing? Or perhaps you need not worry about ramifications from someone else doing the right thing?

I'm confused:)

3. "I'm confused"

Something that happens far more than watching people get struck by lightening or watching them do the right thing, and yet I still fail to take precautions

4. I thought that having faith in Jesus makes you a good moral person.

I guess Christians don't have a special claim on morality.

As far as people doing the right thing, it isn't really news when people do what they're expected to do. For example, people don't get medals for not running red lights or for not raping their neighbor. It's why most jobs are thankless--doing what's expected of you is nothing special.
