Church Camp

The triplets went off to church camp this summer.  It was their first camping experience without mom and/ or dad.  Everything went well and they had a good time.  Since they've been back, they've attended a couple of Vacation Bible Schools.  It is good to see them making new friends.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone were friends? It is a perfect dream, but it isn't going to happen. It never will.  The Bible tells us there will always be wars and rumors of wars.  There will always be people who are jealous of other people, who want what someone else has or who just hate others for one reason or another.  As good as our country has been to others in the world, there are those who do not like us.  To state it truthfully, there are those who hate us so badly they want to kill us all.  Being kind to them does not help.  As the old saying goes, give them an inch and they take a mile.  We must be ready to defend ourselves and our loved ones at all times.  Which brings me to mention a recent action that puts us in a more perilous position.

Our present government officials have just released precious oil reserves our nation has stored just in case of national disaster, a time when we must either have it because of disruption in our oil supply or to defend ourselves against an enemy.  And why was it released?  Why would someone do that without a disruption of that supply or a danger to our country?  And especially why would it be done when that oil was purchased years ago at a very low price and now it will have to be replaced at a much higher price?  Think  about it.  Is it ignorance or is there a detrimental purpose?

There is even more at stake than our economy, which has already been compromised by all the stimulus giveaways of our citizens' money and of our children's and grandchildren's money for years to come.

Think about it.
