I listen to a Christian radio station 88.3 The Wind. I love Christian artists and their music and this station was the first in our area that I found who played contemporary Christian music. I've listened to this station for years but noticed something this Christmas season that I hadn't noticed before. Come Christmas time they began playing the Christmas music non stop which is okay but I am so disappointed that they don't exclusively support Christian artists during this time of year. They do the rest of the year but for some reason during Christmas time it's okay to play Mariah Carey, Sarah McLachlan, Elvis and every other secular artist that has a Christmas tune.
Not everyone would agree with me and that's fine. I just find it to be a contradiction that a Christian station supports artists who are pro abortion and openly bisexual or practically naked at Best Buy! (Mariah Carey advertisement)

City Ordinance Endangers Lives!!!
Back in May I posted an angry rant about my neighbors pit bull dog. Click Here To See Post.
Last night my family and I were sitting on the couch enjoying some cool Netflix video's when I heard a dog fight outside. Chris ran out back to see what was going on and came back in screaming that two dogs were attacking our dog Banjo who was chained up in our back yard. Everyone in our house was scrambling to find flashlights and the phone book to call the police. Chris went back outside to try to break up the fight as I called the Police. Chris is lucky the dog didn't turn on him but he said at the time he wasn't thinking he was so angry. He beat the dog with a golf club which is now bent, and the dog would not let go. When we found our flashlight we could see our neighbors pit bull dragging our dog around the back yard as far as his chain would go. We thought Banjo was dead by the way he was being drug around. Chris went inside to get the shotgun and I was on the phone waiting for the Police to arrive. I had to scream at my very angry husband to get him to put the shotgun away because our town has a city ordinance against discharging a firearm in the city limits. We would have probably received a ticket for shooting the attacking dog.
When the Police arrived I waved them to the backyard. The officer got out of his car and we watched as the pit bull chewed on our helpless dog. After trying to call off the dog the officer shot him. It was terrible because the dog didn't die right away and had to be shot again. I was shocked to see Banjo was actually still alive. We brought him in the house and cleaned him up. He has a big gash under one ear, another on his tail and his neck is shredded from the chain that got wrapped around his neck as he was being drug around by the pit bull.
I lay in bed last night sick thinking how lucky we are that this wasn't one of my kids that was attacked. Emily had just been outside retrieving something from the van and her little dog needs to go out at night and it's Emily's job to put him on his leash to go to the bathroom. I'm shaking right now thinking about it. Chris told me this morning all he could think about when he was beating that dog to get him off Banjo was how hard it would be to get the dog off one of our children if it were attacking them.
So thanks to the city ordinance we have in our town human lives rank under the rights of animals. This dog was a danger to everyone in my neighborhood and I know I'm not the only person who's called this dog in. Back in May when I first posted about this the dog was aggressive towards Emily. I don't normally do the "what if" thing but WHAT IF that had been my daughter!!! City ordinances are there to protect citizens and this one puts everyone in danger. Not everyone is a responsible pet owner and even if they are accidents happen. I believe one act of aggression should be enough to get rid of a dangerous dog. It should not have to attack first!

This could have been one of my children!
