"If my people, who are called by my name...
Advertisements [?]
... will humble themselves and pray I will heal their land"

this verse is haunting my waking and my sleeping.


Those who call themselves "christ" ians, yet do such hurtful, life quenching, destructive, and selfish things, while beaming at the world and claiming such ...innocent.... righteousness....
and those who follow the 'leaders' either out of a misplaced sense of duty, or submission, or because they don't want to have to face what is happening, because that requires confrontation, and admitting uncomfortable realities.... is it possible???

... I believe there are many people silently following- blindly following this govt, but what if somehow, someway, they could be stirred? What would it take? (besides a miracle) What can we do to encourage those who are sleepwalking into hell to open their eyes?

If it is the 'religious right' that has enabled this govt. to come into power, and remain in power, its time for truth. And time for humbling, and time for change.

I'm so weary of god being used to explain why we do bad things-

and I'm rambling-
sorry,

blu
