COURAGE...

 From a friend.       
 
A young 17 yr. old boy was shopping in St. Cloud, MN
 at a sports store, called Shields.                                                           
The cashier was a Muslim lady who was wearing her headscarf.  The 17 yr. old was wearing a necklace
 with a cross on it.
She told him he would have to put his cross under
his shirt because it offended her.                                                           
He told her he would not do that. Then he told her
 that he thought she should take her headscarf off.
She then called for the manager.
The manager came out & told the 17 yr. old to
put his cross under his shirt and everything would be fine.
The boy again refused to do so & at that point he left the items he had intended to purchase & walked out.
Several customers who had been in line behind him had heard the conversation & also left their carts full of items
 & walked out of the store!!
 
KUDOS TO THE 17 YR. OLD and the customers
in line behind him!!!
We all know we are in some very changing times, & given the same circumstances, I pray we would all have the courage this young lad had.
                                                 
Our Bible class spent a few minutes talking about the challenge we are facing for our first amendment right of religious freedom.   
I have to wonder what's next? 

Will you hesitate to pass this on??  
or 
be ready to defend your religious rights!!!
 
               God bless you, & God bless America!!!
