Heading to an LA beach this summer? Better leave the footballs and Frisbees at home.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday agreed to raise the fine for playing ball on the beach to $1,000.<\/p>\n

In a 37-page ordinance, the county board specified precisely what is and is not allowed on LA beaches during the summertime \u2014 and any object other than a beach ball or volleyball is out, KCBS-TV\u00a0reported<\/a>. Throwing a football or a Frisbee was already considered illegal beach activity, but the board\u2019s move upped the fine for violations to a whopping $1,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unlawful for any person to cast, toss, throw, kick or roll any ball, tube, or any light object other than a beach ball or beach volleyball upon or over any beach\u201d between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the ordinance states.<\/p>\n

Exceptions to the rule allow for ball-playing only in designated areas or if a person obtains a permit beforehand. Playing with a water polo ball is still allowed, as long as it\u2019s in the ocean.<\/p>\n

The ball-playing restrictions won\u2019t be enforced in the off-season between September and May.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just Frisbees you need to watch out for: You better keep an eye on your kids\u2019 shovels and pails as well. According to the restrictions, no person may dig a hole in the sand deeper than 18 inches, except when permission is given for film and TV production purposes.<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
