I fear the unknown, Annie. I also fear the pain that will be inflicted on those that I love by what I think is coming. Along with that fear I am angry as hell that we have come to this 20 years after Ronald Reagan left office after crushing communism without firing a shot.
As a guy in his mid 40’s I lived through the Cold War as a kid with the fear that one day our way of life would go up in a big ball of flames because the Soviets didnt like our way of life and the things we beleive in as a country. Then one day, poof, that threat was gone because one guy (Ronald Reagan) had the stones to stand up and say no and lead us in taking down that evil empire. It just seems incredible to me that twenty years later, after my wife and I have worked our butts off to build a life that seemed unlikely to ever happen in the early and mid eighties because of the threat of nuclear war, we are facing this threat from the same exact ideology. Only this time, the threat is coming from inside our wonderful country from a group of seductive vampires that the electorate invited right in the front door. They may not be threatening to drop the big one on us yet but I wouldn’t put much else past them if someone or something stands in the way of their communist goals.
I told my friends that the 2008 elections were the last peaceful stand for our freedom and way of life and we lost. Obama, Reid and Pelosi are gonna prove me right sooner rather than later.
To be sure, BRC, these are times that try men's souls. That's because LORD is stripping away all things that men have put their trust and faith in - their 401(k), their government, their political party, their jobs, their education, their cash, etc. This, in order that we might see that there is NOTHING in this world that saves us. There is but ONE Savior and He is hastening the day while calling out a people to Himself.
CHANGE AND HOPE can only be found in Jesus Christ.
