Detour

So tonight I don't want to write about my past, I want to write about society and our futures.

You know that feeling of déjà vu or strange moments of clarity, well I've been having some of those from time to time, mostly about where our country is heading morally, spiritually, ethically.  I don't dare say that we are becoming a list society but in believe we are already there.  I see our children being inandated by sexuality in the earliest of years and I am so scared for their futures as one who has experienced the darkness that comes from visual immorality.  I see our society pressing ever onward to accept unnatural laws that tear apart the fabric of all that is good and worthy and lovely, especially in the arenas of chastity, crude jokes, persecutions for abhoring homosexuality, abortions and more.  The governments of the world are conspiring against each other at alarming rates and our very freedoms of privacy are now void.  Freedom of speech is truly becoming limited and parental rights are being severed as children become kidnapped wards of the States, drug use is a social norm and the list goes on and on.

We cannot sit idly by and allow our world to be changed without standing for what is right and true.  We are obligated and empowered by our very God to do so.  He does not separate Himself from us but we as individuals separate ourselves from Him and soon society runs amok distanced from inspiration and truth.  We cannot allow this to happen and we must be vigilant to keep our houses in order especially morally in order to be prepared for the times approaching when He asks us to serve Him.

300 earthquakes were reported in Chile in one week (this week).  Mudslides are happening with increasing destruction.  Tsunami's, fires, diseases we have never before witnessed and weapons in the power of man that are too incredibly powerful for anyone to hold trigger to.  Radiation cover-ups, water contaminations and crop disease and disasters are rampant.  Please know that life is not all dreary and dark and bleak!  Beautiful babies are still born to loving families, marriages are created, miracles are occurring and many people are becoming wise.  These are all foretold events in the scriptures that warn us to get our lives in order.

You can do it!  You CAN do it...be clean, be worthy, be free of sin and live in peace during times of communal darkness.  Stay strong and know that God lives you, IS mindful of you and will ALWAYS draw nearer to you as you draw nearer to HIM.  Never give up and stay focused.  These are trying times and were designed to be so.  However, we can choose our own paths each day.
