Title: Life is hard
Post by: Dennis Vogel on July 26, 2012, 09:10:27 PM

Life is hard for many of us, but much harder for others.

That is very sad.  Here in America, they simply convince the young and old to give themselves up as sex objects by making it all look very appealing and most importantly, harmless to body and mind.  It's called the entertainment capital of the world.  Who of us haven't been taken in more times than we'd care to admit?

It's been reported that opium production has increased steadily since the war on Afghanistan began.  And why doesn't that surprise me?

I'm not a gun owner and have no desire to be but how else will they convince dumbed-down Americans to disarm themselves?  They will say "peace and safety" when there is no peace and there is no safety in any government anywhere.

Right!

Hence, the Kingdom of God IS within.... :)

Dear Dennis,

I've always enjoyed your down-to-earth and wise approach to things. I appreciate your ability to keep things in perspective, and how you think of others. It is an example to follow.

I thank the Lord for this!

This is not meant in a political way; soldiers in the Norwegian forces who are also in Afghanistan,
believed that they were going to create a free, peaceful country, but now they admit that the whole operation is a complete failure. According to many soldiers and locals, Afghanistan is now worse than before. This was said in another documentary I watched.

God bless you,
Eirik
