Vandalism is shameful

| December 10, 2008 11:00 PM

We are outraged and appalled at the person(s) who chose to vandalize the newly installed Ten Commandments on the west side of Hwy. 35 just before entering Bigfork. We have spoken to the generous people who installed the Ten Commandments and they have received numerous calls from people like us who are saddened and disappointed by the vandalism. However, some calls have been from people offering to help pay for a new sign.

So to the vandals, you will not win! No one is trespassing, bothering, destroying or vandalizing your property. What on God’s beautiful earth makes you think you have the right to trespass and destroy what others own just because it goes against your beliefs?

In the meantime, you might find more meaning in your life if you read and practiced what is on those signs around the valley instead of vandalizing them. If you are caught, your “punishment” should be to install new signs. Regardless, God will judge your actions when your time comes and we will continue to pray for your troubled souls.

THANK YOU to the generous benefactors throughout the valley for all the Ten Commandment signs.
