Herded to the Slaughter

ok, so I was really depressed over what feels like the dissolution of my country. No one likes being herded along to forced acceptance of reprehensible practices that every fiber of one's being finds repugnant. I can't quite join in the celebration where taxpayers should all join hands and help pay for ending the life of babies, or funding contraceptives. Or a government takeover of health care that will bankrupt our children and make even a greater number of people inextricably dependent on Uncle Sam to survive. But then, who am I to question if that is the proper role of government? I understand our progressive West coast legalized marijuana. Yippee! So much to celebrate! But, the good news is that according to the Mayans, the world ends Dec. 12!

But just in case it doesn't, nothing is gained by slipping into despair. Nothing happens without God's knowledge. All circumstances present opportunities to learn, reassess, grow, and practice one's faithful reliance on God. Things really do look their darkest right before dawn. I know this for a fact, because I have been getting up lately before dawn, and it is stinking dark our there! In the end, even this government can not take away my salvation. My security and hope has never rested in the hands of man.

Still, I have an inexplicable urge to "mooooo".

Acts 4:11-12 (NIV)
Jesus is “ ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ [12] Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
