TODAY: 2 more school incidents, that I know of, and blatant disrespect for the dead. That’s what I’m writing about. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE!

Stop asking the question, “What has happened to our country?”

My husband drives Uber. Today he picked up a lady from Grand Prairie. Her child’s middle school had an incident yesterday. The school was locked down and children were terrorized – scared to death. She chose not to send her child to school today.

In Missouri, another school has been on lockdown today. Again, children are terrified of going to school.

In other news….there are protests at a memorial service for Billy Graham. In 50 short years, we have gone from our parents telling us to not speak ill of the dead, to protests of the dead.

What has happened?  It’s been written about far and wide, but I just have to give my 2 cents worth. You’re welcome.
Much of my premise lies with the 10 commandments.

The very 1st command has been violated over and over, and has left an easy entry for defiance to the rest of them.  In this country we worship sex, violence, prestige, fun, fame, money and the list goes on. God has been removed from our hearts as GOD…the Creator of the universe, the Maker of our souls.

We once excitedly anticipated the new lives of babies, but now they are put to death in the womb.  God “hates the shedding of innocent blood,” by the way.

We have turned from the command to honor parents to putting them in a home so we won’t have to mess with them. Parents wait in loneliness for children and grandchildren to even come see them, much less honor them.

God has not only been taken out of schools, public buildings and government institutions….but actually ripped out….with the hope of destroying any mention of His holy name. His Name is no longer holy to much of our society.

The command to not take God’s Holy Name in vain has been so watered down that not only do people blurt out constantly, “Oh my….,” it is common to even use initials to express surprise, excitement, admiration, love, etc.

The 7th commandment, of not committing adultery, has been violated beyond what we can even imagine. Pornography brings adultery to us, but it has been labeled an “issue” instead of sin. It is no longer a shameful thing, and as the prophet Jeremiah stated several times, we don’t even know how to blush anymore.

Murder is a normal part of life in music lyrics, video games and movies. So, why not take it another step – into real life. Satan, the liar, the one who wants to kill, steal and destroy is doing a good job of it.
So, considering just these few things, which are mighty indeed, please stop asking the question, “What has happened?” It’s quite clear what has happened.

God will not honor a people who do not honor and obey Him.
