I appreciate your efforts more than I can say. I am a lawyer, I teach at a local university, but I am also a Christian. As the Bible instructs, I seek wise counsel and think I have found such here. While all appears doom and gloom, I’m going to kick back and put my faith in God to sustain me since I am not nearly wise enough to save myself from what seems unavoidable. Actually, the Bible promises such an outcome for any nation that turns its back on God. I don’t need any further evidence that that is the case in America. My plan is faith. My prayer is that many others will find it. Thanks for sharing your insight and wisdom.

I believe that is true, and would be even after we arrived there. As one of our wags said, history does not repeat itself, but it rymes. Even if things were similar in most ways, we would still have penicillin, and most advantages gained over that span. Which, we completely fail to appreciate.

I wonder if–far more than America–it is the world that is in for a surprise.
