There is a sign as you travel into Pine Ridge village that reads "Prepare to meet thy God" It has always bugged me. My roommate Allisa informed me that this sign is pretty tame compared to some of the nonsense "Christians" place on there signs, but for some reason this sign drives me nuts. It is an old sign, I can tell because the letters are peeling away, which makes me think that this was the message being brought to Pine Ridge all those years ago. Prepare to meet thy God. It feels to much like a scare tactic to me and doesn't tell anything about the incredible love that God shows us, and that we should be showing to others. If scaring people into heaven is what it's all about. If tracts are a"witnessing tool", If its really all about souls, then why does Jesus preach about how we should be living here and now?
