The Kind of USA We Live In.

We live out in the country off of a potholed (gotta fix that) chert road in a little town in the south.
My 2 teenage daughters (taller than I) want to walk the .9 mile to the mailbox.
I asked them if they had their pocket knives on them and running shoes on.
One of them had to go change her flip flops to tennis shoes.


Does anyone else realize with all the new technology and the unending passing of laws that are suppose to make us safe, that we are not any safer?

Man's heart doesn't change apart from the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?


Mattew 15:18,19
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:


Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.


Psalm 53:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.


2 Corinthians 5;17
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.


Romans 3:22
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe:


Hebrews 1:3
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:


Hebrews 10:22
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.


Colossians 1:12-14      
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:


Ezekiel 36:26,27
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.


Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.




Men fight for freedom, then they begin to accumulate laws to take it away from themselves.  ~Author Unknown

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.  ~Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.  Jeremiah 17:5
