Well, if it were, our country might be a lot better off. Much of the groundwork for the American Revolution was guys talking in bars, but talking about things of substance, not sports.

I think drinking and drug use should be on the list, as well. But if you think these vanities are destroying America, try to get rid of them and see what’s left of the American economy.

In track and field I recall the days when young men and women, who were either in or just out of college, competed for a place on the Olympic squad. It was exciting as there really was no telling who might surprise. Today it is thirty year old professionals of limited personality let alone intelligence who have made the meets a bore and not worth watching.

We’ll end up with sportsmen and clowns - said on the Dr. Blake show describing the direction of British youth.

yes brother jim, we, and many of us Christians including my pastor, read it the same way. thanks for the link.

if we discern it correctly, then God may bear with us for a while, that the greater harvest may yet be reaped. the good thing is that even though God broke many hearts, including Jeremiah’s and ours, He made a way, albeit challenging, through it all for His faithful remnant.

then Dear Lord, let us too in America be found faithful and obedient to You as was Jeremiah, Daniel, and Ezekiel in their time. Amen.

I am always amazed when people who are supposed to be men actually act like 16 year olds and have zero understanding of what a man is.
