Wow! What an article. I was in the missions for five years, when I came back in 2011 I wondered what country I was in. Some of my friends said I was in danger being in the missions; but now I know here is the place of martyrdom. Christianity has a history that goes far beyond our young country.

IN WINDS OF TIME:

Windbags Prevail

America has many forms of self-deception.

Grandiose schemes and dreams abound…

Many offered or foisted, ‘for our own good’?

Denial, an ever present protective cocoon.

Truth so poorly tolerated, is an underdog.

The faint and quiet voice called Reason, a

weary whisper in roaring winds of rhetoric.

Will the children of Future’s heart be heard?

As their parents seem blind again to truth, and

sad humanity stays covered with war blood…

Mankind’s prayers and sincere longings might,

Re-kindle the hope for God’s smile’s warmth,

as men search and grasp for Grace in the dust.

We worship our smarmy smug celebrity gods.

MATTHEW 8:26

Hello Susan. Your lines could not have been in more perfect symmetry to my own heart and mind. But I wonder if there wasn’t at least one more erosive, albeit popular, constituent in the American cultural mores these days. I have in mind the free dispensation of sperm in the sperm banks which delivers children who may never know their fathers. The damage to the psyches of these children as they grow up is immense and irreparable. But this is never a factor that may trump the mother’s immediate emotional impulse. Your family may have known serious poverty, but here you have a poverty of another and far more insidious order.

Be very careful, kid. An article in this vein, however much supported by professional behavioral therapists, will bring down upon you the unforgiving wrath of the blindly hating ultra-liberal leftist crowd. At the same time, however, you would be promised the attention (and respect) of the deep conservative undercurrents still alive in your country and who will yet have their day.

Arnold.
