Thank you, irish, for your insightful, eloquent post -- every word of it painfully true.

And, betty, I can do no more than reiterate the beautiful intent of your heartfelt prayer:

All I can say is I'm praying a lot these days. That God will not forget America, and that He will forgive us for not defending her — or His truth. That He may give us yet another unearned blessing!

Amen.

I pray for our country daily, as well. One of my consolations is the fact that the Pilgrims dedicated the New World to the Glory of Jesus Christ, and the spreading of His Kingdom into the New World. God has not abandoned us but I am afraid we have a great deal of Tribulation heading our way.
