I agree scilent. I just read the headlines and shivers go up my spine. I been saying for a long time now that I feel like things are going to just get worse and every day when I open the headlines it proves me right.
I even have talked to my dd about persecution and things to come and what to do in case something happens and I can't get home to her.

Last night I had a conversation with my ex husband about how great he is doing with our other 2 only thing I wish he would do differently is take them to church (he's an atheist) tho not so totally closed off to the idea he still won't really go. He told me mostly bc the worst people he ever knew was sitting in the pew on Sunday. I didn't really know how to reply to that.

It is getting bad. The hate for news and Christian's is growing every day. In fact I started to watch a movie last night it was put in 2050 and it was about how they made Christianity illegal. No bibles no churches no prostelyzing nothing that would give anyone any indication of any religion at all. I didn't get to finish it but it reminded me of how if we as a nation are not careful we are headed down that very realistic path.
