Wednesday, January 16th,
2:00 a.m., couldn’t sleep.
Three days after returning home from
a two-state trip and back to back funerals, I woke with a question; how is this going to play out for America?
This is what came to me:
They are divided.
By their lust,
they’ve been led astray. They willfully follow those who tickle their ears…while
slitting their throats.
Yet, I have given
another warning, another term of grace; even still, they reject this last
Trump, and will be granted what they crave, and the error of their ways will
consume them.
Perhaps, it was from listening to
the news. Maybe from mourning. Figured things weren’t really that bad. The
majority of folks are good. Good will prevail. Light will outshine the
darkness. All we have to do is smile and be nice and love everybody and
everything will be just fine.
After all, a lighthouse doesn’t
run around shouting at ships who’ve lost their way, they just stand there and
shine…Right?
I let it go.
Two days later, we were sitting
beside the pool at CoCo Keys Resort and some teenage boys approached us twice
asking questions about the water slide. The second time one of the boys, grabbed
my wife’s purse and ran. I pursued, to no avail.
Nothing like that has ever happened
to us.
Maybe things are worse than I thought. Are those words from two days ago, true?
That was the same day (January 18th)
the March for Life, was overshadowed by a drum beat in the face of a child who
was about to be crucified.
Only days later on the 22nd,
echoes of Babel were heard as demonicrats, with one voice, cheered and lit the
One World Trade Center with a bloody glow at the legalization of killing babies
up to the moment they’re born.
The very next day, exactly one
week from when I’d heard that warning, the first mass murder ever in this area,
in America for 2019, happened just down the road. One of the
folks from the park where we live, had ridden his bike there to do some banking.
He was turned away by police surrounding the scene. What if he'd gotten there moments before...?
You heard about it on the news;
twenty-one-year old, Zephen Xaver, shot five women in the Sun Trust bank, Sebring Florida.
No motive reported.
This is a quiet, peaceful town. Murders
aren’t part of our news.
I considered the past seven days.
- · Wed. Jan. 16: Warning
- · Friday Jan. 18: Wife robbed
- · Friday Jan 18: Child crucified
- · Tues. Jan. 22: Demonicrats cheer killing of babies
- · Wed. Jan. 23: Mass murder at Sun Trust bank, a bike’s ride from our house.
Maybe things really are worse than I thought. The timing can’t be ignored.
Are those words from a week ago, true?
If so, what can we do?

Oh, Doug, this is beyond powerful. What can we do? We can continue to pray for this broken, sinful world that God's grace would shine through to change hearts and minds.
Yes, the past week was full of horrors. God help us all!
Blessings!
