Do you ever wish you could go back In time where there weren’t any computers, Internet, cell phones or even television? I do, there are many more things I’d like to return to.

There was no abortion in the 30’s or 40’s. Oh there were a few girls who went in a dark valley with a clothes hanger but, compared to today, there wasn’t any abortions. I sometimes wonder if we aren’t any better than the ancient people who offered their first-born child to one of their gods. God didn’t like that at all and I am sure he doesn’t like our abortion

He wouldn’t like the fact that we took his word, the Bible out of the schools either. I still have the picture in my mind of a girl reading the Bible in the class free time. She was harshly scolded by her teacher and kicked out of school! Prayer is not legal in school either! Although I don’t think that should be named at all because you can talk to God any time and silent too. There was none of that in the 30’s or 40’s. In fact, when I went to school the teacher opened each day with a Bible verse. We sang Christian songs too. And  we always had Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus in picture form. Our Christmas program always had Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus and shepherds and wisemen on stage. We girls all wanted to be in the play as Mary. We were allowed to leave school for an hour each week so our preacher could instruct us. That surely would not be legal now, would it?

The word ‘gay’ meant that we were happy and gay! Now we never hear that word used that way and it is sad. I don’t know why the homosexuals had to use that word either. Now, they can get married! That destroys marriage the way he ordained it.

Another phrase we shouldn’t use these days is “Merry Christmas”. Instead we are to use “Happy Holidays”. Yet, the day is Christs- Mass and we mark time with “2016, BC” Before Christ!

Our world is crazy, isn’t it? Why did all these things happen? Well, because we christians didn’t stand up and make sure that things will not change. After all, this nation was dedicated to God when it began. Maybe we should stand up again to change our world back again.  Wouldn’t that be nice?

 

I sat looking at the pictures on my computer’s screensaver. They were all pictures of my Great Grandson, a little cutie, even if I say so myself! It seems to me that we are starting our family generation over when the latest born is a Grate and I have talked to several women with Grates who feel the same way. However, looking back I see Mom and  Dad, Grandmas (two) and Grandpas (also two), me and my brother and sister, my children (four of them) and now my Great Grandson. That’s five generations and I imagine I could go much farther back if I joined one of the clubs that studies generations. I believe all of the rest of mine would be found in Norway. That’s where my two Grandmas and my two Grandpas came from. I guess all generations are more than five, don’t you think?

I imagine it will always be that way, but it makes me sad when I see children born that don’t have or remember a father, or foster children who don’t know where they came from. Some parents even give their children away! It would be difficult to trace their generations, wouldn’t it? And I know the 50 million babies who were aborted will end up in many different  generations!

But God cares for us all. And all of us belong to his generation and he certainly is Great! However, he does have his rules just as parents have. We must come to him by looking at the cross where Jesus, his son, died and rose again. Believe this, and put all of our sins, no matter how bad we were, on him. Jesus will forgive our sins and we will be able to talk directly to God, our father who is definitely the start of all of our families generations. That’s why we must love everyone. We all came from God’s generation! I, for one, think that’s great.
