John, Douglas and all the Doves:
 
Thank you for expressing your feeling of not caring Douglas.  I've had that feeling for some weeks now and had begun to feel guilty about it.  I felt that maybe it was just my own attitude that needed an adjustment or it was somehow my own fault that I'm no longer so passionate regarding the political situation and other "things" of this World. I too just want the Lord to return and get on with Eternity.
 
That seems like a selfish and senseless copout to most people.  I thank the Lord everyday for all the blessings He has given me and my family, yet still find myself growing very tired of this World with its constant searching for solutions to all it's problems that leave out God.  I've told all of my extended family how I feel and that they need to make sure they've accepted Jesus in their hearts because He's coming very soon.  Some of them think I'm overdue for an extended stay at the nearest mental health facility.
 
When I see things like the mass murder at Virginia Tech I find myself shouting out loud, "how long oh Lord will you let this idiocy continue?  Satan and his henchmen need to be brought to task for their perversion of your World, Lord".  Then I take comfort in knowing that one day soon He will say, "Enough!" and then we won't likely remember very much, if any of this craziness as we explore our real homeland with our beloved Jesus.
