Patriotism and Sorrows

Our area of the Midwest is small towns and small cities, but all are surrounded by the country.


Recently our flag has flown half-staff as there have been a number of deaths of our young adults from accidents or by self-infliction.

What sorrows and agonies we bear especially when the young are lost. All of their lives are ahead of them - and then - cut off.

This world gives false hope to the young in schools and in all media. Many parents do not have time or patience for the God of the Bible, thus their children of any age have seemingly no chance to hear the Truth. God's Truth puts trials, troubles and temptations in to His perspective. May you be a Light in your own area.

1 Peter 4:12-16
"Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. 

If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name."
