I'm not discouraged. I see this as being part of the plan. God has already told us what would happen in the last days. So, why worry? Do your part, and know that Christ will come out victor in the end. That is where hope lies, in seeing beyond this earthly realm, and into the heavens beyond.

I would have to say it is a little hard to pay taxes in a state where so many people mooch off the the goverment's taxes funded programs. It is hard to pay such high taxes for so many people who come from other countries for the sole purpose of getting free health care. Yes the schools are

Well, I think Sara's oversimplified things a bit, probably indulged a few too many caricatures. I doubt many come to Boston to get free health care. Also, our taxes do pay to bring kids out of the inner city to schools in the wealthier suburbs. About 4-5 percent of the kids in the public

Sara, nice to hear your comments on this. I agree, we must stand for the right. We also must not be afraid to establish the idea that homosexuality is a sin and evil and is bad for society. Why do so many have so little to say against it? Because they've given up the good/evil platform. When

Gas prices have now reached record high levels in the US. Over $2 per gallon in some areas. Isn't it a good thing we mounted such an effective imperialistic war against the Iraqis, just so we could steal away their oil? I can imagine what the prices would be otherwise.
