10-25-2019. THOUGHTS FOR TODAY.

10-25-2019. THOUGHTS FOR TODAY.  Heart hurts.   

Losing people in USA daily due to lack of healthcare, 

police killings, 

lack of access to clean water, 

flakes of lead paint, 

lack of housing, 

people in administrations at the city, county, state, and federal levels not giving a damn about the poor - only in building new communities for those well off, 

no support for the education of the poor, 

MINORITIES/WOMEN NOT VOTING - in spite of the fact people died too give US this precious gift, 

schools shaming kids because their parents can't or hadn't paid their lunch fees,

trafficking of people,

lack of compassion for immigrants - although each of us are immigrants, EXCEPT FOR US DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES,

no support for Native Americans - further erosions of their land in violation of formal treaties, keeping them in poverty on the reservations and if they leave the reservations they receive no help,

closing of mental institutions in the the 1970's because the order of nuns were dying off and heaven forbid cities taking up the cause to help heal their residents,

Those advocating on behalf the causes/ministries above are getting fewer and fewer thus straining their physical/mental strength.  

My parents taught us to give back, no matter how little we had.  Most in the generations after us (1950/1960's babies) have no desire to connect with and/or have compassion for those in the situations noted above.

WELL LET ME GET OFF MY HORSE - JUST PISSED!

HEART ACHES!  NO AMOUNT OF PRAYER WILL HELP IF THE PEOPLE WHO FEELS THE URGING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT MOVE OUT AND GET ON THE BATTLEFIELD OF THE LORD!

Myself and others who moved out are stretched financially, spiritually, physically, mentally doing God's work.

WE NEED MORE PEOPLE ONNTHE BATTLEFIELD!

Churches must send people out of the walls - specifically young adults- to address these needs!

Our old guard is dying off!
