is it now

The TV is on and I'm watching Hannity on Fox News and we have breaking news from the White House and the President gives a speech on how far/close the political sides are with coming together on the budget for last year. The press-room is filled with reporters and shortly after the President speaks the pundits will proceed with their view on what is happening with the budget and who is at fault. Many of the people across  America also will talk among themselves over the same subject and each will lay blame for the problem on the other as who caused this great debt.

What in hell is wrong with this picture? How can this Be? How can a nation that has accomplished as much as America has in the short time we have been a country have the president standing before the nation discussing the reasons we need to spend more money bringing our nation further and further into debt? How could our President be Standing before us asking us to give him more money to spend and asking for this money without showing one drop of shame for his actions? People, how in Gods name has America gotten itself into such a huge amount of debt? This nation now finds itself in more debt than all the combined debt we have had in the past.

 This country should be ashamed for allowing our Government officials to take this country down the way they have. This is shameful. How has this happened? It happened because we failed to maintain the character of a people of faith. Regardless of the nay-sayers, this country was incubated in the values of Judeo-Christian belief and all the time this nation displayed those values America prospered. As the years have passed our complacency has taken the place of those values and God has been pushed from our town squares, our schools, and in some cases our very churches. Now we have changed and man has put his faith in man, but man is deceitful above all.  The question was asked of Jesus, 'What will be the sign of thy coming?" The chapter is 24 in the book of Matthew.
