blowin off some steam

I am not posting this to say look what I did. I am posting this to say look what THEY did.

Last year a teen age girl died of cancer at our local coon club, and after many nights in prayer I finally recieved an answer from God as to what to do to alleviate my greif. I contacted the MAKE A WISH foundation and offered the use of my hounds to full fill a childs last wish and take them and as many guests as they wanted to bring on a coon hunt. I NEVER mentioned a word about a gun. I told the foundation this would strictly be a pleasure hunt. and they replied that they couldn't allow this due to insurance. I'm sorry but how does a foundation like this tell a child, sorry you can't do that because of insurance? I think this is absolutely absurd. JMO, Whats yours? am I wrong for being upset over this?

thats sad a childs last wish couldnt be filled just because of some silly stuff. One thing god sees us and our good deeds so keep your head up.
