God and the Bible were removed from our schools back in the seventies. And, I believe that this was the beginning of the worse downfall America has ever seen. In my days in school, we respected the teachers, our parents, and the people we came in contact with each day. We tried our best to stay out of trouble, and mind our parents. But, now days, children are having to literally raise themselves.
Fathers work long hours, or they are absent from the family, via divorce.
America is going to have to get on her knees, cry out to God for help, and then He will hear us. We are a people in a land of plenty, where people are literally starving, and also 'starving' for peace, comfort, and joy, that only a life with God can give them. Only He is able to change our life for the better, give our nation the 'uplift' it needs. He's patiently waiting for us to seek His face for answers, and to listen when He speaks. Heavenly Father, help us realize that you are the only Hope we have.
