Befuddled and Amazed !

      "As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine,
        so neither can you, unless you abide in me..." (John xv:4-5).

      "We must work out our salvation in fear and trembling." (Phil ii:12)

      "Not that we are sufficient to think anything of ourselves,
        but our sufficiency is in of God." (2Cor. iii:5)

      "I am not famous anymore. #Stopcreating."  Shia Lebeouf.

      "Hollywood has betrayed me. No one takes me seriously." Katherine Heigl.

      I'm seeing a pattern here. Over the course of 2000 years people have
      turned away from divine revelation. The Counsel of Trent taught that without
      special revelation from God to the Apostolic Church Fathers, "There is no way
      to be certain of infallibility." Session vi, Cannon 16).

      "Dick Cheney is trying to shift blame to Obama for his failed war in Iraq." John Stewart.

      "Isis can wait out any occupation."  Jessi Ventura.

      Perhaps, what is needed is clarity on what it is our objective.
      It seems that the media is now the forum for justice. 
      Celebrity sermons are given international attention and comedians are
      shaping national opinions. Is this our God?

        "Ultimately, we will all make our vote even if we choose not to vote." Lyndon Johnson.
     
      "The problem with Iraq is the lack of patriotism in its infantry.
        I was a soldier in Vietnam and we fought for our country.
        The American soldier will fight for his President even if he does not believe in him.
        That is what makes our military strong." my brother Kevin said on the phone.

      I have a dark premonition that we will see firepower that we have never imagined
      and that will be the end of our journey on this blue planet.+
      Who will remember us? 

      Why does God allow it?
