Let us say '

Let us say there is great devastation.'
In Venezula.!
In Columbia.!
In Ukraine.!
In Iran.!
Let us say, there is great devastation..!

In the USA there is homelessness.?
There is rampant, drug abuse.'
There is wholesale murder of the un-born;
Future.!

In the whole world inequality reigns.'
Let us say there is great devastation..!

Where is God we may say in all this.?
He is still waiting I remind myself.'
For you and me, to turn to Him..)
So that he may heal. All our great devastations.!

Joe, this is just false. There is housing and a job for any legal citizen in the US, who wants to work. You cannot blame government and society at large for wrong personal decisions. "The poor will always be with us". I know, everyone is a victim before a Liberal Utopia! Nor can you blame capitalism for drug addiction. Though it could be stopped by government as Mao did. Stopped like a heartbeat. The choice is ours. You seem to be obsessed with the half empty part of the jug. What we hold in our consciousness as individuals and a society we will have. Negativism is a self fulfilling prophesy. As is hope followed up with positive endeavors.

As I put before Joe Dimino..Not only in one or two countrys do people Work at things quite hard sometimes.? All of western Christian countrys are being hit now..There are many who are homeless all over, thats not false And truth is of Jesus..So if the Truth is not true.? Which is never the case.!!! Do you see my irritation.? Initially anyway Jesus came to save heal and deliver, yet He got condemened enough in the past.) Even I guess by me.? So I Do not wish to go there but somewhere better, All blessings.)

So? Have I ever said anything negative about Australia? The tough people who build your roads. I speak of American because it is not a place I have just read about, have done business with, perhaps a place where I have visited and made some intimate acquaintances. You have enough problems on your side of the pond that need attending to before you straighten out America. The appearing poverty in New York and parts of Texas has less to do with economics and opportunity and more to do with the politics of Equality you speak of -- over-here understood by many as, Code-word for Communism. Marxism. Regardless of what you may read in the press, those are forms of government the overwhelming majority of Americans what nothing to do with. I Agree. I encourage anyone wanting to know what Jesus has to say about something, to go to Him directly, no appointment needed, His door is always open.

Good morning Joe Dimino😊 reading your reply its of note to me you use the prefix I seven times.. Seven as we know is a number God imports with signifigance.? Now i do not want to See and will not bring judgement on you..Human brother & in the Lord..' you obviate my simple questions yet answer you have worked with homeless and drug abusers and worked in rock hard ground by hand ( how do you think? roads got built in OZ ) same Heat range shade graded though.' Other countrys would be the same However.' One understands the people you Mention were in America.? As Jesus lives.!!! is there any need of His return? You make one wonder? Reading your outputs... Just some observations..extended to you is all Love in Christ to whom all is an open book, me seeing we do need His arrival' what may happen to me I am not sure of.? Whatever He decides will be best.!!!

Believe what you want, Joe. I don't base anything I say on what I have heard or read. I've worked with non profits; found shelter for the homeless, made Christmas for homeless children -- had a lot of firsthand experience with drug addicts. lived with them. 70's and Nicaragua is a very complex subject. I am more interested in 2026, where we are now. Most anyone can succeed in the US if he truly wants to. 3 jobs, 4 jobs -- whatever it takes till you get better jobs. With a shovel and pickax I dug trenches in rock-like earth, in the desert, in 115-20 degree temperatures. Not a lick of shade. Was convinced I had died and gone to hell. But I didn't, and things got better. I hung in there. Will everyone succeed in the US, No. But odds are your favor. Best nation in the world to live.

Hmm..I Do realise people are homeless Joe Dimono.' Mind you Not only in America, as you put you will always have the poor..Spoken by a man in His fleshly incarnation who sent His followers to get two coins from a fishes mouth because he had not them in his pockets.' To pay temple tax.) Jesus said He had no Fixed place to lay his head..And foxes had at least a stable hole.. I see men talking and spending millions.' If not billions i am told the c i a ran drugs into the USA from Nicaragua in the 70s is that Wrong.? I hear of peiople who kept three jobs down and still could not make ends meet.' I see extremisam as just that, no right or Left extremisam will always lead to disaster if its default mode how Low are the numbers living homeless for instance in Texas or N Y State and city.? Just as a for instance forget other places just in Those.' Thank you for your info in advance brother.'
