From Gary... Pulling the plug



Cute cartoon.  But it does say something important.  Violence begats violence.  There have always been people who ignore the personal property of others and will steal (or worse) to get what they want.  In America, violence has become the norm.  The violence children see on TV and even in video games trains them to do likewise.  But, there are limits; and someday...

Genesis, Chapter 6
  9  This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.  10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.  12 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.  

  13  God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth.

God disapproves of violence and caused a mighty flood to cleanse the Earth of it.  Now, I know that God has promised not to do this again (remember the rainbow covenant), but I wonder just how long HE can tolerate what has become of this nation?  Will HE destroy us for what we have become or maybe just turn off the switch to our hair driers?  I hope I don't live to see it; the sight won't be pretty!!!  Anyway, with it being over 90 degrees outside, just the thought of snow is comforting!!!
