Michelle not a Christian

Fri., June 22, 2012

I’m responding to the article in the June 18 paper regarding Michelle Obama’s speech to the graduates at Corvallis, Ore. She said graduates need to live life for themselves not for anyone else! I am totally astounded. This is the first lady? You can tell she is not a Christian.

A Christian lives life for others. That’s why we make the sign of the cross; to cross off ourselves and serve others. I thought the president and first lady were in office to serve us, not to serve themselves! Now we know they live to serve themselves.

All graduates need to remember is it is more blessed to give than receive, and happiness is found in serving others, not yourself!
