Terminally ill 5-year-old boy dies in Santa’s arms
“If I see you crying, I’ll break down and can’t do my job, ‘” the man recalled to the News Sentinel. Grisham also at one point called on people to protest the construction of a Planned Parenthood facility, a swingers club and a nude production of a Shakespearean play.
Schmitt-Matzen said to tell them the boy was his number one elf and they’ll let him in, The News Sentinel reported.
A girl in a Santa hat stared, wide-eyed.
“Yes Santa Clause is still real in their eyes and hopefully in the eyes of other children”.
Take a few weeks ago for example.
A man in a blue T-shirt approaches. Grisham said he’s not an official pastor, although he said he’s twice served as an associate pastor.
He didn’t stop with the man in the red suit. The terminally ill boy died on his arm after saying “Santa, can you help me?” “How can I tell when I get to where I’m going?'”

Evangelical pastor David Grisham filmed himself at the Westgate Mall as he shouted at the kids.
And this is Grisham’s reasoning behind what many are calling a disturbing act.
According to The Washington Post, Grisham has been shouting his sermons at people across the county for almost a decade. “Through street evangelism, street preaching and teaching calling on Lost to repent”.
He uploaded a video of the incident on Facebook.
He’s claiming victory. The video has been seen more than 2 million times. Security will remain on the lookout for anyone disturbing those at the mall.
Each holiday season, I’m brought to tears by incredible acts of kindness from mall Santas across the nation. I’m not going to identify where it happened, exactly when, what hospital.
As I talked to more of my friends who are parents, I quickly found out that I wasn’t the only person who felt this way.
Grisham’s message didn’t last long before he was interrupted.
Some parents encountered him and told him to get lost, which he finally did.
Tell me the best things about Santa.
“They didn’t know that story, and they were really listening”, said Lonna Lysne, who personified Mrs. Claus Saturday. “I’m going after it because it’s idolatry”. There is no such thing as Santa Claus.
Because yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus – and he is nothing but love and generosity and devotion. “We came to see some of my pottery in the basement, and we didn’t know Santa was upstairs”.
He realizes the tactics strike emotional chords. He said tears ran down his face and took time for him to recover from the heartache.
That doesn’t mean, however, that kids who are interested in seeing Santa this Christmas should be barred from it altogether.
“Y’all have a nice day”.
