Actually our country started dying a long time ago....yesterday was the death rattle.

The beginning murder of innocent babies in 1973 set us on the path of destruction.

I was born in 1972. My mom has been saying this EXACT same thing for years now and I believe it to be true as well. Roe V Wade started the downfall of this country.

Hi Gwennie--it's good to "hear" from you this sad morning. Yet, amid all the raging waves of emotions that the outcome of this election has created within our hearts--it is good to turn to God's STRONG Word and receive this Comfort:

"Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances." (I Thes. 5:16)

Of course, those words are hard to take to heart right now--yet this was the very same verse Betsie ten Boom reminded her sister Corrie of when they came to the concentration camp at Ravensbruck. They discovered fleas in the blankets of the beds they were to sleep in, and Betsie said they must rejoice IN THE LORD, and be thankful--in ALL circumstances.

Corrie was incredulous that her sister might actually want to thank God for the fleas--but it was those same fleas that kept the guards away from the building, enabling her and Betsie to have a gathering of women each evening for a study of God's word.

And as THE HIDING PLACE so clearly illustrates, the Light of the World often shines most brightly in the places of greatest darkness.

May God keep all of us who love the Light of the World filled with the "oil" of His Holy Spirit, so that we can shine even in great darkness, and:

"Live as children of the light, for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth.." (Eph. 5:8)

Lord--in your mercy, hear our prayer!
