Today has been a downer day.

I can’t even put my finger on the exact cause but I feel very pessimistic about things today.

Perhaps it is the realization that our country has given up on God and is determined to let fear of attack from “Radical Islam” determine our fate.

Perhaps I have come to accept that no matter how many of our rights are systematically stripped away – no one really cares if they can watch the Oscars.

Perhaps it is the $400.00 a month in property taxes that are taken from me at the barrel of a gun for services I will never use.

Perhaps it is the sobering fact that no matter how hard I work, 40% of my income will go to such things as abortions and unconstitutional wars and social engineering and kick backs and there is not a damn thing I can do about it.

The thing that really gets me down however, the thing that makes me walk my neighborhood pleading for mercy is the realization that the Church is silent in America.

Am I the only one who realizes our churches are impotent?

Am I the only one who looks out Sunday mornings and sees the faces of believers desperate for a God they can not feel, can not trust and can not take outside the walls?

I try and shake it off, I try and dismiss the desperation I see, I try and convince myself all is well, but it simply won’t go away.

The thing that really scares me, the thing that makes me shake in fear when I really consider it, is that we are guilty of high crimes against a good and just God.

We are killing His children. In the name of convenience – in the name of zero population growth – in the name of freedom – in the name of homeland security – in the name of Christ – we are killing His children, unborn and old, so many of His precious children.

And they cry out for justice.

They cry out from the grave to a good and just God for vengeance.

They cry out from the womb.

They cry out in every language.

They cry out in every religion.

They cry out from every continent.

They cry out against America.

Yep, it’s a downer day.
