The Winds of Change

Well, it has come to our nation whether we wanted it or not, Change! and not for the better. It was heart wrenching to watch the speeches last night. As Obama made his acceptance speech I fell to my knees in Prayer and Tears for my country. For the first time in my life I am not proud to be an American, for the first time I questioned my ability to recite the pledge of allegiance. I listened in horror as thousands chanted "Yes, we can! Yes, we can!" I thought of the days ahead and wonder just what they would hold for me, my family and my children. The fervor of the crowd reminded me of the videos I have seen of Germany when Hitler rose to power, and quite frankly it scares me, I wonder how soon it will be before Christians will be hauled away for speaking out against Homosexuality, how long will it be before my children are ripped from my arms because I chose to teach them the truths of God's Word and educate them at home, how long before free speech disappears? I must remind myself that God is still in controle and no matter what happens He will take care of me and my loved ones. As I morn my country taking another big step in the wrong direction, I can only pray, "Lord Jesus come quickly!"

The Lamentaion of America

America, America what have you done?
You've turned your back on God's own Son
America, America what did you do?
You've turned your back on God, now He's turned his back on you?
America, America what have you become?
Once a christian Nation, now you follow the "rising sun"
Babies are abandoned and left alone to die,
No one to see the tears no one to hear them cry!
Men marrying men - a most unsightful thing
and all of this in the name of Change!
Let's tax the rich to feed the poor,
let's take and take and take some more!
We can all get along, we can all agree,
as long as you think like me!
America, America, oh, why did you not heed?
The messages of warnings that God gave to thee!
