Greetings from Tyler,
There seems to be some question as to whether they will put Donald Trump in jail over the New York charges. All bets are off if they do that. Sentencing has been delayed until after the election by some stroke of genius. You can see Hillary taking great delight in calling him a convicted felon. What haven’t they tried?
It seems like a dangerous time in American history. We have a president who has pretty much checked out, and some are suspecting that he might resign, leaving you-know-who the incumbent. You can bet your bottom dollar that there will be more surprises between now and election time. Who could have guessed what has happened so far? Nobody.
Meanwhile, the world is a mess. We hear that Ukraine is making inroads into Russia. Zelensky is shaking up his home team, and who knows what’s next? Apparently Putin is not “fussed” about the incursions deep into Russian territory. He’s sticking with the original plan. For all Zelinsky’s running around the world, hat in hand, maybe things aren’t turning up roses.
The war in Israel is still going on. We’re a long way from 1967. The terrorists have spent years digging tunnels and devising what they would do under various circumstances. Now they’re the victims, and the wailing never stops. Now their “homeland” is rubble and they’re on the run. Meanwhile the negotiators act tough, as if they still hold the cards. The Israelis have found dead hostages, recently killed, shot in the back of the head. Protests, from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv are blaming Netanyahu for what’s happened, and more hostages are still being held.
Everybody has heard about the shooting in Georgia. Now the Dad of the little urchin has been arrested. He better hope that leaving his guns unsecured was his only failing. He did a rotten job of child rearing, that’s for sure. Two teachers dead, and two students, many wounded, and now the little idiot who murdered them and is facing life in prison as an adult. Uh oh. I bet they never told him about prison. Maybe he’d have thought twice.
The wars go on like the United States doesn’t exist. We don’t know what will happen. I hope there is not another incident, or attempted assassination. You’d think the media would be a little more curious about the last one. There’s nothing to see, or at least that’s how the media has portrayed it. That better be the case.
Maybe it’s too late to save the United States of America. We’ve had it good, maybe too good. But our lives show no thanks to God. We didn’t earn the blessings, but we are the recipients. Is there some way society could be less thankful? Is another revival in the cards?
Conventional wisdom says there is no God, and everybody can defy Him anytime they get ready. Something’s got to change, or we’re going to find out the hard way that God will not be mocked. We look at the prophecies for the end time, and wonder what will happen. We better start obeying His Commandments, giving Him thanks for all our blessings, or we’ll hate to see what happens next.
Mark
