NEW PORT RICHEY — Michelle Schoeppe's three sons squirm on the couch as she reads through a Bible lesson about Moses and the parting of the Red Sea.
Normally her husband would tell the boys their nightly Bible story, but he's not here, and she feels like she's losing them.She gives up and decides to just show them where Papa is on a map.
She points to China. Papa is picking up Henry right here, she says. None of them has ever met Henry, the little boy who is about to join their family.
"Where am I from?" asks her eldest son, Melvin, 7.
Her finger moves to Guatemala.
She turns to Jason, her 5-year-old, and points to the Philippines. That's where you're from, she tells him. Finally, she moves to St. Petersburg. Her youngest, Dawson, also 5, was born here.
Michelle has always wanted to adopt five boys. It has taken her six years to get these three.
She has combed the world and the Internet to cobble together her family, listening to God's whisper for guidance.
She thinks of all the children they missed out on adopting for one reason or another. Boys from Mexico and Ecuador. Twins from Cameroon. A blind boy from Guatemala. A deaf boy from India with one ear.

I often wonder how many Christians realize that the man who embodies every single one of modern Evangelical Protestant's social and religious ethics is none other than Jim Jones of Jonestown.
In fact Jim Jones was the first prominent Christian Preacher to embody EVERY SINGLE PRECEPT that is propagated by today's Christianity.
Jones and Marceline had one child together and adopted several children of various ethnicities. Jones was proud of his "rainbow family" and urged others to adopt interracially.

Jim Jones and his Evangelical church,
Peoples Temple was a cult founded in 1955 by Reverend James Warren Jones (Jim Jones). In 1961, Jones helped to (racially) integrate churches, restaurants, the telephone company, the police department, a theater, an amusement park, and the Methodist Hospital and became the executive director of the Indianapolis Human Rights Commission.
Jones received considerable criticism in Indiana for his integrationist views. In 1965, Jones left Indiana, moving the Peoples Temple to California. The Peoples Temple purported to practice what it called "apostolic socialism....Jones often mixed those concepts, such as preaching that "If you're born in this church, this socialist revolution, you're not born in sin. If you're born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, then you're born in sin.
Jones and his church earned a reputation for aiding the cities' poorest citizens, especially racial minorities, drug addicts, and the homeless. Soup kitchens, daycare centers, and medical clinics for elderly people were set up, along with counseling programs for prostitutes and drug addicts who wanted to change their lives. The Peoples Temple made strong connections to the California state welfare system. During the 1970s, the Peoples Temple owned and ran at least nine residential care homes for the elderly, six homes for foster children, and a state-licensed 40 acre ranch for developmentally disabled persons.
In 1974, the Peoples Temple signed a lease to rent land in Guyana...Former Temple member Tim Carter describes the reason for this move...."the United States is a racist place."......Carter said the Temple concluded that Guyana was "a place in a black country where our black members could live in peace". Marceline Jones described Jonestown as "dedicated to live for socialism, total economic and racial and social equality. -wikipedia
And of course they all got together in their racially integrated, culturally diverse and "social justice" minded community and drank poisoned cool-aid...
The similarities between the goals, aspirations and beliefs behind Jonestown and modern multicultural America (and her Christianity) are chilling, and should serve as a wake up call to the most dense of American Citizenry.
Unfortunately many Americans have grown averse towards information and facts.
And after all, 'What the American People don't know, is what makes them the American people'.
