Letter to the Editor: The world will be what we make of it

Dear Editor,

As I watched a recent airing of T.V. ‘s “Decades” recently, I found that this particular show was sobering, to say the least. The years went back to the beginning of WWII straight through to the present day. All wars between countries, including constant threats toward us by Russia, now joined by China and North Korea, from beginning to the present teach us that not much has changed, only the people in charge and the years.

There was always “someone” somewhere who wanted to own the world. We are experiencing now, what others have seen or heard about in the past, only more in your face news because of technology. “Same church, different pew”. The new additions we see, first hand, are violent storms, earthquakes, devastating fires, floods, killer viruses and on and on.

So ~ is this change we’re watching Biblical? My opinion is most definitely yes. There is unbridled violence everywhere. It seems as though moral values are gone, and taking a quick glance around…Nobody seems to care about much of anything, anymore. The mantra is ~ ”If it feels good, do it”. Yessiree…we are facing The End Times. I believe it’s time we got it right with our God. Spring is around the corner and for some, the Season of Lent, a time for reflection. The world around us will be exactly what we make of it. We need to leave it in good repair.
