So I empathize completely with your wish!<br /><br />Rereading this just before commenting, I came away grateful to God however that in about a month's time, the ball has moved further down field toward securing healhcare for roughly half of the Americans currently denied it. We just keep praying and banging on our elected officials and discussing it with anyone tolerant and mature enough to have the conversation.<br /><br />My Mom often says, "Rome wasn't built in a day." That's true, but the empire sure fell apart pretty quickly when the people stopped taking care of themselves and each other. We're in the same boat, I fear, and if we don't learn, first of all what God's Word says, but second from what we've seen in history, we run the risk of falling to ruins.<br /><br />Thank you so much for this. It's a grand way to greet the day!<br /><br />Blessings always,<br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722447614945782871.post-8474283613868436702009-10-17T06:27:53.337-05:002009-10-17T06:27:53.337-05:00Tim, we are so on the same page with a lot of what...Tim, we are so on the same page with a lot of what you wrote here. <br /><br />I wish I could send it directly to several people, but as you wrote, "Those who should be warned won’t listen and those who listen need no warning."<br /><br />I'll have to settle for a facebook link, cause it's just too good not to share!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
