Though it starts out negatively it ends with great hope. God's word says that itis only the beginning because we are living in the last days. Soon there will be a one world religous-political system that will persecute those who do not follow it. I thank you so much for your writing on this subject with clarity and precision. Your photo and your video really bring this out. Kudos!

Sally:
I agree with you 100%. There is nothing in this world that can bring
us peace - and, until Christ returns - there will never be anything in
this world that will bring us peace. When my daughter was diagnosed
with colon cancer at age 37, Mercy Me's "Even If" was one of our
favorite songs. She had surgery right away and is doing well now. We
walked in faith right from the beginning.
I will pray for your eyesight.

Comment from damommy
I'm heartened that someone is seeing the same things as I see them. We are headed toward a totalitarian government, and we're sliding fast! Now, I just heard 'they' are trying to get rid of news medias like NewsMax and OAN. That means we'll be left with exactly and only what they want us to know. A lot of people don't agree with me, but I see our freedoms being whittled away.

Thank you for the encouraging review and generous stars, dear Damommy. Sometimes I feel like I'm out there with my beliefs both politically and spiritually. I'm glad I have a friend in you. I checked OAN, and I wasn't able to get on. I'll try again and also check NewsMax. I was a contributing opinion writer for rapture ready news. It is an endtimes website with a links to different conservative news outlets. I've had many emails back-and-forth with them since I was a opinion writer on their site and I'm telling you these are good people. Terry James Who heads up the group, has written many books on the end times. I highly recommend them all. Check them out if you can. My family and I already frequent their website.
You can find it at: https://www.raptureready.com/category/rapture-ready-news/
Sending you my best today and many thanks,

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I feel your pain here Sally and this is such an honest and heart rendering write. Your fear is real and your rights are at risk with the present administration, American always took such a hard stance against communism in the past, it does not work and it stifles the community. As you say you have faced adversity before Sally and overcome some tough obstacles in life, but what you are facing now seems to be a tough challenge. In addition, the virus has thwarted us. I found out today that my daughter has Covid, she has escaped it for so long, she sent me a message saying she was glad I was away from it and safe. I shed a tear today about it Sally. Your write is so touching, I felt every word here, love Dolly x

Aw, Dolly, you are so sweet. I appreciate the tender review and encouragement. I'm so blessed by this. This review means the world to me. I'm thinking and praying for you and yours today, knowing it has been a most difficult year for us all. Sending you my best and blessings always,

Comment from Liz O'Neill
Your delineation of historical events will draw the reader in. Some examples may be foggy in some members' memory. This is good you've reviewed them. I am sorry for all of your many losses. You express the emotions of many readers. It is good you have reminded the reader of the words of Jesus about allaying fears. He knew us well to have included the subject in so many of his teachings.

Thank you for the wonderful review and insight. Yes, I'm showing my age here, but I wanted people to see the real me in this particular post. My Christianity is real when I have my struggles as well as my victories. I want everyone to know this and I have hope in their own struggles. Thanks again and blessings always,
Sally XOs....
Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is a truly excellent piece of writing--full of vivid, specific examples--personal (You REALLY HAVE been through a lot!), national, and global.
Sometimes we will be afraid, though our faith is in the Lord--because we are human. I am very uneasy about the new regime--oh, I mean administration!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and tender comments. I appreciate your sensitivity here and I suspect we're close to the same age. We have been through a lot as a country and as a people. No matter where you live though, I think Jesus cares and loves. He knows our troubles and wants to help. I will be posting my daily confession soon so that's coming. I hope it helps others to see that Christianity has so much to offer because of the person that central to it and that is Jesus Christ. There is no one else like him. Thank you again and God bless you inspite of the new regime. I prayed a special prayer today, asking God to watch over His people. God bless you, dear Janice,

I understood what you were driving at, but found this piece somewhat of a ramble, without firm guidance as to direction. I think it would benefit from a revision aimed at tightening up the story-line.

Comment from Ric Myworld
Well, I can honestly say I'm afraid of nothing, never have been, even when I was a kid. Of course, now, I do wish that I had been afraid of a lot of things, so this old, abused body wouldn't be in ruins. But, I can say, I enjoyed every minute of getting here. And I can say, the good Lord is going to make me whole again some day. Thanks for sharing.

I can't even imagine not being afraid of anything. I am feeling more peaceful today I've got it done at work even since I've written this article. I woke up today with such a sense of peace now because of his ascending into the White House but that God is in control of my life even when I feel like it is so out of control. He's been around much longer than the kings of the earth and the governments the same to topple in a heartbeat. I really appreciate the wonderful review and your personal comments. I'll be praying for you, Ric. Sending you my best and blessings always,
Sally XOs..
Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
Sally, I can't find the words to tell you how much your words mean to me.
I feel exactly as you do, and I don't even live in the U.S.A. But, being a Canadian I know that eventually your policies will be adopted here in Canada. So, I follow your news on a daily basis. Also, one of my sons lives in Michigan.
He is not a happy camper with the goings-on. He too mirrors your thoughts. He is a devoted Lutheran and trusts in God to ameliorate the situation, but when? Fear not! Indeed. Losing so much freedom in one week is ludicrous.

Thank you for the wonderful review and encouragement, dear Ralf. Yes, the world including Michigan, New York, California, Georgia, are in a hot mess. My relatives and friends in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and New York, are having a cow. All I can say is what I said in this article: return to the Lord and trust in him with all that you are. Trust Him, Ralf. Pray earnestly. This is not a physical battle where we can go out into the streets with our guns and win it. This is a battle of the spirit world the battle of good and evil. It is won by prayer and supplication. Many of our states are progressing to full-blown abortion in the last term even past the delivery of a child! This is heinous to me. This new administration feeds this kind of stuff and actually applauds it. Join hands? Absolutely not. The Bible says to unite ourselves with evil is to become evil. How can I do this? This is my daily struggle, but yet again I am told not to worry... not to fret, and be at peace. I plan on posting more regarding this. Read those scriptures daily and claim the verses I mentioned. I hope to post more later, but this is all I have for now. Thanks again, and God bless you.
