"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day, his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God; which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth forever..." Pslam 146:3-6

Well, the wild ride continues. While all the conservative talking heads declared the "health care" bill to be dead, it seems to be rolling toward passage sometime this weekend. Can it be stopped? Sure, my God is able. Will it be? His will be done. No fortune tellers at this desk.

"Hope and Change" have given way to a deceitful, corrupt, "my-way-or-else" regime bent on bringing a blanketing totalitarian government to a once free and fiercely proud nation. The voice of the people is falling on not deaf, but arrogant and uncaring ears. The will of the people and the best interest of the nation no longer matter. The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence are now only wall decor in the halls of Congress. The vows taken to uphold and defend them were, for this "majority" in congress, just so much hot air.

I have copies of letters I sent to the Presidents of the three major TV networks after Obama's election. I told them what would happen in the aftermath: destruction of the economy, government take-over of industry and the media, and those who do not follow along being attacked, demeaned and eventually outlawed altogether. I'm batting about .750 so far. Stay tuned.

Though I look at our country's situation and wonder how we could have been so duped, so blinded, so stupid to have allowed such things to arise, I keep turning to the blessed true Word and find so much Hope and Peace! America has been through some pretty rough times; by the look of it, there are more even rougher days ahead of us. But happiness, peace, truth, hope and change are there for the taking in those whose trust is in the Lord God. He is Truth; He is hope and peace, light and salvation for those who believe and rely on Him! This is not a time for fear, but for faith, confidence, and saints on bent knees boldly crying out before the Throne to the God who holds all the answers!

"The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous: the Lord preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked He turneth upside down. The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord." -- Psalm 146:8-10

"Though all the world assails me, there is One who never fails me; I am His own, He is my Only! Praise His Name!" -- Old chorus
