I believe that things seem worse than they are because we have become such a selfish, greedy and power hungry country.
We are no different than the Israelites who wandered aimlessly in circles in the desert because they would forget their LORD their God.
America has done the same... we have worshipped money and power over our God.
yes I know...thumbs down for me. ;-)
someone just posted this comment: don't worry about anything until it affects your life and the people around you. things will get better. don't worry. and don't worry about how things will be worse, just focus on now. worry when things actually are terrible, not when they seem like they will get terrible :]
Don't worry until it affects YOU? what happened to caring about your neighbor?... gosh it's this kind of thinking that has gotten us where we are now.
