My son woke me up this morning crying (18 months old). Sometime during the night he found his way into my bed. Still, it was a good start to the day. I drove my daughter to school (7, almost 8) which I don't normally do. Normally I get to sleep in a little bit. Still, a great day. Then I went to the local coffee shop where I spend a lot of time. It is basically my office. Before I went inside I heard some disturbing news about schools and "trans-gender" students. I am talking about grade schoolers. I listen for a few minutes getting more and more upset by the moment. Then I went in and booted up the laptop only to read Chuck Colson's article about the culture of death in England and the church's promotion of it.
Thanks for reporting Chuck! It was a good day, but now I am just angry. I don't read the paper, but evidently I can't listen to the radio or go on the internet either. Perhaps I should just be content in the fact that the world is hopeless. I keep fighting for what is right and I keep hoping people will learn to think clearly and biblically about things, and I keep getting disappointed.
I can't wait until Jesus comes. I just get so sick of this world!! Sometimes I want to look at the world and say, "Go to Hell!" Of course I mean that literally. But then I realize I deserves hell too. I love the gospel! I love Jesus! I love the church, even as messed up as it is sometimes!

Thanks for being willing to share what I lot of us often feel. Although my blog is mainly about politics, sometimes I get so fed up with the American political scene that I need to take a break from it (and at times I am tempted to "retire" from virtually all political involvement other than voting). I don't watch the evening news because I can't stand listening to the nightly litany of tragedies, many of which have little or no relevance to my own life or my community. Sometimes I think I would go insane if I didn't know Jesus and anticipate His return to make things right.
