i concede that my values are not holding sway in today's world nor do i expect them to ever bounce back and recover.
although i am not done standing up for Jesus - nor will i ever be - i do concede that practically everybody else is. i also concede that the out-of-control secular world has gained, ironically enough, control. of this world, that is. (the gates of hell shall not prevail against the next.)
on the one hand, i am surprised - primarily because this world is so completely different than the one i grew up in and never thought would fade so sinfully away - but on the other hand, i am not surprised at all.......because at the end of the day, human beings are adam and eve. we all think we know better than God. we are all self-centered. what we want is what we want, dammit.
i am so sickened by nearly everything around me. it used to be that i didn't want to pick up a newspaper because the news was so bad. now, i don't want to go on the internet because the news is so.........depraved. did you see where california is taking a look at designating pedophilia as a sexual orientation...... not as a sexual perversion? never mind a crime! if there are any liberals out there who are shocked by this - don't be. you created it.
gonzaga university - roman catholic gonzaga university - is refusing to allow the students to form a knights of columbus group on campus. why? because the knights of columbus are - gasp! - catholic!
a school in southern ohio just took down a picture of Jesus that had been hanging there since, well, since pretty much kingdom come. and no one.....not a single soul ever complained about it. until the ACLU did. the stinkin' ACLU from another state! score another one for the good ol' ACLU.
babies being "aborted" shortly after birth.
i give up. on my optimism that this will turn back around (not on my efforts to continue to try). the heralders of the dark side have won.
this one.
but not the one that really matters.
