I just hope that the terrorism and energy shortages we are facing are not signs that God is winding up to throw this country a real hardball. The Soviet Union was wicked after all, and look at what happened to it.

God has given us a choice though--our free will will determine the direction of America. I don't believe God sanctioned the terrorist attacks--I believe he wept with us that day. But it was a wake-up call--the ideals of democracy have enemies; and they are the same enemies of our Judeo/Christian values. We had a strong leader, Ronald Reagan, who helped bring down the evil empire of the Soviet Union--now we have George Bush to bring America away from the threat of islamic takeover. Only time will tell if he is as successful. I pray for strength for him daily.
Sorry this is off topic--I'll stop now!
If God didn't throw us over over slavery he's not going to throw us over for this.
I heard someone speaking, that they had never seen the US so divided. I brought up the Civil War. We actually had Americans shooting one another, no that's divided.
What God is calling us to do, is to stand up and face down evil.
