I've been thinking a lot about all of this as well. <BR/><BR/>Interestingly, I'm beginning to think that all of this may be just what is needed to bring people out of complacency. It is easy to be fat, dumb and happy. It is easy to be lukewarm. However, being faced with such issues has a way of forcing one to either stand up or to turn away. It is through our choices made in tough times that our true beliefs... our true characters... shine through. I think people have already put their trust in the government too long. Unfortunately, it is going to take loss of freedom long taken for granted for people to sit up and realize that their hope lies not in what our government can do for us, but what God, and God alone, can do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-72598491956966688242009-02-21T20:05:00.000-08:002009-02-21T20:05:00.000-08:00Yeah who knows what is going to happen.

These entities have prospered and then having become even more sinful He turned away from them. Consider Assyria,Babylon, Media-Persia, Rome British Empire and now the United States.

Excellent post.<BR/>The news is depressing and seeing savings dissapear upsetting yet, In all the years that I have known God plus quite a few before I did, he has kept his promises to me. <BR/>I find that as long as I keep my wants in line with what God says are my needs then all is well and I am never without or unhappy. It is when I allow my selfish wants to take over that problems happen and worries take over. Anyway that is the jist of the comment I had before the Devil stole it.<BR/>Love n hugs LauraLaura ~Peach~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06436851234824883774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559227461484344655.post-84630724116295521642009-02-20T12:24:00.000-08:002009-02-20T12:24:00.000-08:00Take a big breath and go for a long walk.
