Tragic Awakening




Revelation 3:16
King James Version -- 
16: So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

A splash of dawn, we rinse 
most night, bad dreams defy the
rule – suffer not the sleeping
fool

a fool will only pray, 
unlike Michael, who
wields the lance of prayer, 

Israel alone for freedom
the Cross seems bear,

let us unite, all Christians

stand side by side with
our brave sisters and
brothers, 

no truce possible
with evil – let them have
their pause in hell!

War of any sort leads to misery and deprivation ! In a war no body wins. But at the same time, we cannot have truce with evil. What is needed is peace and the world should stand together for that aim. Strongly expressed dear Joe

I hear you: only two winners in war, if one can call it that -- both heaven and hell increase their populations.

A small country but stronger than ever. Can there ever be unity? My prayers and blessings.

I am not as optimistic as many are...it all depends on US Support -- and I mean actual US Military Involvement when needed -- and I fear Obama favors Iran and its proxies. Just my opinion. Congress is already holding up needed funding. Playing political games while innocence are dying. I don't care what they say -- I go by actions, and I am not seeing the unequivocal support needed. We pray for peace together. Blessings.
