Megyn Kelly Interview

     As I watched an interview between Megyn Kelly and the woman who was fired for flipping off President Trump's motorcade, I was saddened by an adult woman's idea on how to solve problems and her idea on how to teach children respect.  I was saddened further by the applause from the listeners. 
     The interview went something like this:
Megyn:  "How did it feel to flip off the motorcade?"
Woman: "It felt great."
Megyn:  "Do you think it was right to be fired for your action?"
Woman: "Legal and right are not the same thing, are they?"
Megyn:  "Do you regret doing it?"
Woman: "I don't regret doing it. No, we have a big problem with this country."
Megyn:  "What message do you think you are communicating to your children?"
Woman:  "I think I am communicating to them to use their voice when they can, and how they can,  and when they have the opportunity."

     So, flipping off someone or something is using your voice!  So, flipping off someone or something is teaching respect! 
      I, for one, will have to strongly disagree.  I do not believe a finger flip solves a problem nor shows respect, nor does it show maturity at any level.  To quote the writer of today's Charles Stanley devotional, "Our thinking affects us more than we may realize, shaping us into who we are becoming.  Thoughts reap actions, actions reap habits, habits reap character, and our character reaps our destiny."  I will go even further by stating that our actions influence the actions of those around us, including our children.  We are certainly not seeking Christ or following His example when we are being disrespectful

Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."
