I am what I am-It is what it is

To completely understand my points of view you have to understand I am strongly southern influenced.  I put sugar in my ice tea, banana pudding is a family favorite, you fry it and gravy is a must, LOL.  I'm also a conservative.  I hold strong to my faith as a Christian and the Bible.  I believe in honesty and hard work.  All in all I think living a "simple, self-sufficient lifestyle" is best or atleast something to strive for!    So when I say what I am going to say you know where I am coming from. 

Things are changing and there changing very quickly.  I think everyone is feeling it atleast on some level.  Uncertainty in the economy-politics and world events, even the weather is unpredictable.  I've seen and heard things this year that I could not even imagine and to much surprise have been shrugged off or accepted without much to-do.  We are days away from the next Presidential election and I've never seen anything like it.  I find myself shaking my head daily at the things that have gone on, but it's not just the election.  I have never seen so much talk of globalization, 'one-world', international law....the definition of Globalization (or globalisation) in its literal sense is the process of transformation of local or regional phenomena into global ones. It can be described as a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society and function together.  Now tell me what part of that definition shouldn't make your skin crawl?  Now I do realize that some things are going to have to come to pass--It is told--I understand that.  I am just amazed at the speed that things are progressing and how easily accepted some things are.  The very basic of our beliefs, values, and freedoms are being threatened and I fear many cannot see it.  I think the boiling frog story may finally be proven.  Is there anything that can be done about it?  I don't know.  We can Pray and Pray alot.  We can find peace in our daily lives in the good things.  We can learn to be more self sufficient and take care of our families.  We can lessen the impact of uncertain times.  We can be good neighbors and show love and kindness to those around us.  It is not a time to react in fear.  It is a time to be prepared-to the best of our ability--It is a time to use good-judgement and wisdom.   Blessings>faithfarm

I'm a southern conservative too & it alot of what I hear makes me cringe! It's like people are only listening to what they "want" to hear, not what is actually said & watching the actions of people.
The election will be over soon & hopefully we can all get on with our lives. --however good or bad the policies will be.

Complete Agreement

Wow, you said it all. I too am very southern and conservative. I see things and hear things going on that take me back to Revelations, Daniel, and Isaiah. Scary, but there it is. At least in God we need not fear. He is in control no matter how out of control the world seems to be. It is good to see others with the discernment of God. :)
