AAAAAHHHHHHHHH! The thought of a good night’s sleep.....I am a nightowl by nature, but this has certainly added to the lack of sleep.

I have been talking about this with my parents, who are recently retired, and they both tell me they have never been through times that made them worry as much as they do now. Now to me, that’s scary.

My family has been through more hardships in the past 12 months than many families could even imagine getting through.

My folks say the same thing, “This is all part of GOD’S plan”. Yet I am always wondering, if the Bible says GOD will never give us more than we can handle, then why am I feeling so very overwhelmed?

I am hopeful the nation will recover, but I feel pretty doomed as far as my family is concerned.

And with that...I’m sure to see you on the other late night posts!

Honestly, I think that saying ought to be amended. I think God may very well send us more than we can handle ALONE. But He gave us each other, family, neighbors, other friends.

We're all here, and we'll deal with whatever comes together.

You are lucky. My parents are die hard hippies.

Good thing I have FR to fall back on...

As I posted to someone on Facebook who said that God would not abandon the US, is God supposed to overlook mass murder of babies? Open homosexuality? Unfortunately, I believe the US will have even worse things happen unless we, as a nation, have revival on a massive scale. God doesn’t ignore a nation’s sins. Look at Israel. God let them suffer the consequences of their national sin at times so that they would turn back to Him.
