I think I have gotten too cynical, too tired, too old. I look around and listen and it seems like negativity, loss of common decency, in fighting, governmental decline, societal decline and lack of moral certainty are all that is left of this country. It feels and seems like we are on a runaway roller coaster heading straight to hell. I don't quite know how to describe it.
Miss Brandi to look at this world on the state that it is in can lead to one feeling discourage. I personally, like NEVER before DEPEND on my Christian faith & walk by THAT and not by what I see. I find ENCOURAGEMENT not in the "RELIGON of Christian faith alone but a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP w/ Jesus Christ w/ all my energy. In the MIST of this CHAOS of a world, I rest in the PEACE provided to me by Christ. I have to have TOUGH SKIN these days to be BOLD ENOUGH as I am to OPENLY CONFESS my faith ESPECIALLY as a Christian. Yet as u see here, I DO IT unashamed & proudly. For this reason, I will express that which I believe BUT I will not get into a war of words and name calling w/ anyone on this form who disagrees w/ me. In all situations, I strive to represent my personal Savior & my Lord, Christ in word and in deed. He expects and deserves that from ME no matter HOW unpopular it is looked upon in todays world. I consider it an HONOR and a PRIVILEGE to be called a CHRISTian. Saying "Yes Lord" to Christ's will for MY LIFE has been the number ONE BEST decision I've ever made and I will NOT ALLOW the pressure of this world, opinions of people, or any matter of government take the JOY of the Lord out of my life. Things are not PERFECT BUT I have an AMAZING amount of inner contentment that leaves me satisfied ONLY b/c of me being in Jesus. I apologize for going on and on but I render NO APOLOGY for the content of this post. Be Safe! :thumbup:
