I have scanned the detailed critical report of the grace link programs guides
and am dismayed by the conclusions you have made about the graphics, the activities,
and everything in it. This critical attitude betrays the reader of the true
critical nature of person (s) who wrote it. Assuming cartoons cheapen the message
is simplistic. There are no "cartoons". There are dynamic creative
drawings that help us visualize the message and story from the Bible for that
week. Every "activity" has a spiritual lesson. Perhaps the parents
and kids don't always see the depth of the lessons due to a weak leader in
the class. It is still not outside of the power of God to bring pure spiritual
truths to the hearts and minds of the kids and I believe Grace Link is a positive
curriculum overall. Every week there is an appeal for the kids to put into
action the Biblical principles and truths. With critical leaders and parents
more damage is done to the kids that having a weak message. I say hurrah for
the creative minds who have shared their talents with us through grace link!

I will reserve the final hurrah for those who maintain their primitive Godliness
and live a life dedicated to God through His instructions and not man's. These so-called "creative talents" are designed to reach children
through man's invention, leaving God out of the picture. You should spend more time reading the Bible and the Testimones than fiddling with a sketch
pen...
