There are none so blind as those that refuse to see .......... If only humans could wake up and see the light ....,What a wonderful world this would be .... To see that leaving God has caused this plight ... And all the misery ..... to go back to obeying His word, humans all could be free. .. You penned a wonderful poem Joe. Its easily a favorite for me.

I dont doubt it is the case Paula..We know King David Wept in the gate.' And he is A typology of God (as a nations king) I think God Does Mourn the things taking place'

Great write for sure Joe. My husband and I were speaking of this yesterday. When you pull out a foundation from under the structure built on it, even if a little bit at a time, at some point, it will fall. Pulling God out of the structure that was built on the foundation of His Word, is truly asking for collapse.

There have been so many trends Initiatives wars on want on drugs On the preaching of the Word ( wars and rumours of war) earrtquakes and the famines Will be man - made..? By the Look of things..Yes it much better now..! What A real time oxymoronica.'

Yes we will see great losses in our lifetime and fill pages with tears and people will not know God to ask for forgiveness.

Thank you Karen, for stopping to Comment.' Its a terrible idictment Of the 'so called leaders spritual Or temporal' they won't get to Grips with what people need ' Its pointless watering down the Message of the Bible which will Moderate its action itself on Its own in certain cases if we just stand back and Follow thats all of us.'

Quite deep!, Joe. In the USA, we kill 3 000 unborn A day No country allows murder of a live baby, we do? As if, God does not see it? We will cry over a dead whale but not a dead baby…? Children in public school are encouraged to change their sex? I mean elementary School. Pray for theUS, please…. Panagiota
