Oh Lord have mercy.......

I pray that the Lord has mercy on us here in the USA because I'm afraid that we are running ourself into a serious situation. Never before have I seen the multitude of problems that are confronting us today. In the past I was always somewhat confident that there was enough integrity in our political system to prevent it from failing. Democracy works well when integrity exists in our political servants. There is an epidemic of irrational behavior in both of our political parties at the moment. The decisions that are being made are reactionary and lack wisdom. There is a shift of thinking taking place right now and a new philosophy of life is being thrust upon us at an incredibly fast pace.

Many do not understand completely what is going on but there is an overall unrest that has never existed before. I have never been so embarrased by my government's behavior as I am right now. Old rules have been broken and the constitutution which is our guidline for restraint has already been abdicated by those that rule over us. It has become all too clear to me that our senators and congressman are not there to serve the people but rather we are here to serve them. The politicians make there decisions based on who gives them the most financial support. They feel obligated to give back to those special interest groups first and not serve the interests of the American people. It's a disaster right now.

It is clear to me more than ever before that a whole nation can be consumed by this greed and innocent people can get hurt. If there is anytime that we need prayer it is now. The time is now. We cannot turn our heads and pretend like everything will go away this time. The fabric of our existence is under attack.

To those of us who know the Lord, we know that the Lord is in control. If you have ever read the Bible at all you will be able to find several examples of God giving a wicked people over to themselves. The great empire of Rome consumed itself into non-existence. I have been a happy go lucky kind of guy all of my life but this time in our nation has me very concerned.

Oh Lord have mercy.......
