Where are we going, and why are we in this hand basket?

I will start this post on the state of our country. It is in a big ol' white hot mess! That is a problem at this time of year at elections.... we have to sort out the truths from the lies. We have to play this "who done it" kind of game and be strong and don't fall for the media hype or succumb to peer pressure. We are adults, and it is up to us to sort it all out and then pray, and then vote. I have actually lost friends over this subject. I don't understand why someone would unfriend me because I have an opinion! Really? We should all just follow along like sheep? I disagree. We each are given free will and an opportunity to sort out the stands of each candidate, then put that to the test of what our own beliefs are. On the stand of Pro life... I can honestly say that I WAS pro choice. I had never really given it much thought. I just looked at it like someone else would probably want this to be available to them for whatever reason. I didn't know or even want to know about what is done to abort a baby or fetus... whatever term you like. I have done my research and was appalled at the reality of this and quickly changed my stand on this matter. I have since come back to The Lord and I know that I know... this is the right choice for anyone that is a believer. You must do what is right in Gods eyes, not what is right for you at the time. On the subject of our constitutional rights. First, I suggest that you read them. Then expand on each one and get an understanding of what each one means to you and what your life would be like without that right. I wish that this was a subject in elementary schools...Constitution 101. We all need to know what our rights are why they were written. In this you will see why we should be wanting less government. I do not want to wake up one morning to find that I can no longer have a gun to protect myself from ANY intruder including government forces that want to surrender all of my livestock or tax 100% of my earnings. They are my EARNINGS. The more I get to keep, the more I have to spend at the local mom and pop stores, the more I will have to tithe, the less I will need to ask big brither for assistance... oh, that's right, they want me to depend on them. I can't do it. I truely enjoy being as self sufficient as possible and teaching others what I know as well as learning from them in return! Tonight is another debate. I will watch this and then turn the TV off. I do not want to hear what the liberal media have to say. I will check the fact checker and make my own opinions. I hope that you will do this too. After election day, I will post something witty. Promise!
