What has happened to humanity?

    The continual showing of videos of massive fights in restaurants and on the streets is disturbing. Because of the cameras out and recording I believe that could all be staged. Some are down right brutal. Then the lewd acts of twerking and mock sexual acts. The lack of a moral compass is evident. Where does that moral compass come from?

    As a society, we have rejected the teachings and warnings of the Bible prophets and the Disciples. Their words come from God. Those words cut us to the quick. They make us feel convicted and ashamed, as they should. How else would we be humbled enough to be out of ourselves. The riots, looting, fighting, and killing are all godless acts. Where will it stop? I know when but a lot of you won't like the answer. So, if you would want to know more about my opinion then leave me a comment and will be glad to respond

Grieving

    It is so hard to loose the ones you love. Parents and children are the hardest. In the last post I told that in the last 2 years I have lost both parents and a son. For me, our son is the hardest. Don't get me wrong, I loved my parents, but they were up in age and time waits for none of us. My son, however was not. He was only 47 when a very painful disease of pancreatic cancer took him in 18 days. No surgery or chemo could save him, in fact, it would have done more harm and caused more pain at the stage he was in. 

    Jay was special needs, but somewhat higher functioning. He loved life. He loved his friends until his time was up. God and only God appoints our living and our dying. Jay was a Christian, he understood his need as well as he could and wanted to be so bad. He prayed to accept Christ and was baptized. Loosing him has rocked our world as it has many who have lost. Everyday I read of some child that is murdered in their home or in the streets and in accidents. We see video of parents lashing out in their grief. The question is always WHY. Why that son or daughter and not me? There is no answer this side of heaven, but there is comfort found in God's word.

    My wife and I went to a Griefshare group last fall and will again this fall. I would encourage you to find one in your area to attend. It is a very helpful. You can locate one at https://www.griefshare.org You can also sign up for daily emails.

Maybe I should start again

    It has been 13 years since my last entry. A lot has happened during this time. I retired from 2 occupations, my mom passed in 2023, my 47 year old son in 2024, and my dad in 2025 and my wife and I celebrated our 50th anniversary. In 2023 had my 50 year class reunion.  The world of politics has been upside down. 

    My inspiration to start again came from going through Mom and Dad's files and found where she had printed some of my blogs. So this is a short one but soon I will speak out again for Christ and call out evil.
