As I write this now for a second time, since I fouled it up, my age expanded to 101!! LOL No, I am 68 but I have been a conservative since I was 15. Bill Buckley was my mentor. I was a carnal Christian(if that is the nomeclature that applies) until the early 1970's. Then I became what people call, born again by Jesus' blood and Sprit. I was always interested in history, got my MA in History then my MDIV in Ministry. I have been a political junkie since my youth. But, as I age, I connect the dots of faith, facts , family, and fundamentals of historical truth. When I was a kid, my grandmother took me to the UN and in 1948, I saw the debate on Israel and Indonesia becoming free accepted nations in the UN. Odd that one state was Islamic and one , of course, based on Judiasm and the Hebrew language. For years , the Left in this nation with its idealistic silly youth brigades, profs and the groups of the modern DemParty seemed to always blame America instead of its international enemies. The 1960's was that high point of finger pointing and riots against American heritage but the Cold War saw many fellow travelers, useful idiots, and dupes all coming from the Left in this nation, supporting not the USA but Red Russia and Red China and Red Cuba. Oddly, nowadays, the same bunch support our own enemies from the Islamofascist parts of the globe. Morality seems to be at odds with the Left and Right in this nation. And that has not changed much. Viewpoints of what is American history and Constitutionality divides the nation. We have this odd red and blue state divide. Israel still is another dot to connect as it is still around just like the Bible reported in prophecy. Nowhere does the USA come up in prophecy but Iraq and Iran do, odd that! The same type of problems that divided us during the Cold War are around today. Moral codes are different. Amorality seemingly rules and can focus on its affinity with our enemies. Yet, supposedly 91% of Americans believe in some type of God. 76% of Americans believe that Jesus actually rose from the dead! Wow. That is surprising nowadays. As I keep connecting all the dots of faith , fact and history, I find myself wondering if I will be around when Israel is really the focal point of world history? Will there be a WWIII or are we there now as I believe? And just what does prophecy have to do with all these dots anyhow? Funny that around the Easter time, people find all sorts of reasons to question Christianity but not its enemies. Sort of like the old Roman Empire , huh? Well, April 8, tomorrow, Sunday, is Resurrection Day. Celebrate it friends. If the dots keep getting connected, one never knows how long in America or in fact the world, this Day will be celebrated freely as it is nowadays. Happy Easter.
