An Open Letter from a Non-Mormon Christian to Dr. Jeffress
With the recent comments by a prominent Dallas Pastor calling Mormons a cult and non-Christians I received a question from a Clifford Keys, Colonel, US Army (Retired) asking whether Mormons are Christians. I of course responded affirmatively. In response Col. Keys wrote a letter to Dr. Jeffress, the LDS Church, CNN, his email list of hundreds of other retired military personnel, and myself.

Chopping Wood – Redneck-style
“Hello, is this the Sheriff’s Office?”
”Yes, What can I do for you?”
” I’m calling to report ’bout my neighbor Virgil Smith…. He’s hiding marijuana inside his firewood! Don’t quite know how he gets it inside them logs, but he’s hidin’ it there.”
”Thank you very much for the call, sir.”
The next day, the Sheriff’s Deputies descend on Virgil’s house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood. but find no marijuana. They sneer at Virgil and leave.
Shortly after, the phone rings at Virgil’s house. ”Hey, Virgil, This here’s Floyd…. Did the Sheriff come?”
”Yeah!”
”Did they chop your firewood for the winter?”
”Yep!”
”Happy Birthday, buddy!”
Rednecks know how to git-er-done!!!
