I confess to being a news junkie. Or perhaps I am just a nosy old biddie. Depends on your point of view.
I haven't owned a TV in years. I get my news from various internet sources. A few days ago I found it necessary to shut it all down. Aside from emails to friends and a movie in the evening, my computer remained shut off. I needed a break from watching our nation crumble before my eyes.
Do you remember freedom? I do. I remember when people could debate an issue without being labeled 'racist.' Now any opinion that differs from the agenda of the Left is automatically 'racist.' Sorry, Dr. Seuss.
Dr. King wished for us to be judged by our character, not the color of our skin. We were doing pretty well at that. But now we have taken a giant leap backwards When a company like Coca Cola holds meetings to teach employees how to be less white, I believe we have reached rock bottom.
There was a time when girls sports were for girls. Now some hairy chested man can say he identifies as a girl and can therefore not only compete in girls sports, but can also share showers and locker rooms with my granddaughter.
It goes on and on. Every day brings some new horror from our Capitol. It isn't enough that citizens are suffering due to a virus. The current resident of the White House and his handlers are busy wrecking lives with each pen stroke. Round and round it goes and where it stops, nobody knows.
I want my country back. I want my grands to know the freedom I had years ago. I want them to be able to think for themselves rather than being told what they should think. I want them to live their lives in peace without the constant chaos that now surrounds us. And I want them to know what truth sounds like, especially from media and politicians.
But most of all I want them to know how God had a hand in creating this great nation that so many are working so hard to destroy. I want them to see how things can change if we only allow God back into every aspect of our lives. For if that does not happen, they will surely see what a Godless nation looks like.
We are nearly there.
Unfortunately you are right. We are nearly there.
ReplyDeleteSad but true, BW...It won't take much more to push us off the cliff.
DeleteThe only plus I can see, Vicki, is that we may not have too many years to endure it.
ReplyDeleteYou and I, my friend, are tough old birds, even with our aches and pains. We have managed to survive this long. It is the kids my heart breaks for. If this continues, they will never know what freedom really is.
DeleteThe Bible is rife with examples of what happened to Israel when it turned from God. Somehow though, people in this country think they can do the same and avoid the consequence. Don't count on anyone in the "sacred" Capitol to help us out, Vicki. If this country is to be again what it was before, it'll be up to us...
ReplyDeletePete...I count on absolutely no help coming from DC. Or from state or local politicians and bureaucrats. All are pretty much cut from the same cloth. I have to wonder if there are enough of us left to get us back to where we belong.
DeleteThen Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare e the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
Delete26The Lord said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”
Gen 18: 23-26
There's your answer, Vicki. We pray. God delivers! Luckily for America, enough of US are cut from the same cloth!
Pete...Sodom and Gomorrah have come to mind fairly often these days. Sometimes I wonder if we are being spanked for allowing Evil to gain such a foothold here. But you are right. We who cling to our faith are many. 'Pray without ceasing' has become reality.
DeleteYou speak for more than 74 million people. It's the recklessness in DC that is shocking. But they want to get as much damage accomplished as possible before 2022. I am sick to death of hearing 'call your congressman, call your senator'. Our hope is in the Lord. We have a prayer-Lord, if there is something we should do let us know.
ReplyDeleteCelaina...My representatives in Congress have no idea what is important to me - nor do they care. They want money. They want power. They want to control. They will vote for anything that gets them what they want.
DeleteI have zero faith in government. I have abundant faith in God and I pray that he will remove the evil that surrounds us heal this land.
Amen Vicki. I, too, have not only no faith in the government to do anything useful but at this point I expect everything they do to be detrimental to the country.
DeleteLTM...'America Last' seems to be the agenda of the day. There was a time when politicians would sneak in their detrimental polices, but now they are right up front with their plan to destroy America. At least now we know what we are facing. It seems to have had the effect of bringing many of us to our knees in prayer. I still have faith that prayers are heard and answered. Maybe not when we would like, but answered nonetheless.
DeleteVicki, those of us who are aware must share the truth with any who will listen. I hope many will read your post and hear what you are saying. It is up to us to keep on praying and speaking the truth. CW
ReplyDeleteCW...It is beginning to look like speaking the truth is becoming more dangerous by the day. Disagree with the narrative of the left and we are harassed or cancelled. But now is not the time to run and hide. If we let them shut us up, we are done. There are many of us who refuse to comply. Pray, prepare and speak the truth!
DeleteBeing 83, yes I remember Freedom. Even was alive, during WWII. When The Great Generation fought to save Freedom, from the Nazi Menace.
ReplyDeleteThat was from outside, our Beloved Country.
This takeover of our Beloved Country, is being done, from within.
-sigh-
Courage!!!!!!
Beside a babbling brook...Having been born right after the War, I remember what it was like to be free. And I remember those within my family and friends of family who were the heroes who fought to keep us free. And here we are, watching those who would take down everything won by those patriots. For money. For power. For control.
DeleteCourage and prayer. We need lots of both!
