.... Hello! ... They're 5 years old! ....

Guess I'd better stop before I go completely nuts! ... This last article simply shows how ridiculous and incompetent our current leaders are! ... Sex Ed for a 5 year-old? ... They're still looking for the toilet! ....

... And this Syria thing .... More proof of the sheer ineptness of this whole bunch! ... If you are going to attack something, or someone, you don't advertise it or hand out time-lines! ... It'd be the same as telling another guy I'm going to punch him in the face ... but not today ... probably next week ... I don't know whether to be shocked at the incredible incompetence of these people, or marvel at the fact that they can actually form words!  

OK .... Breath ..... I need to refocus on my Savior's teachings ... I need to do what brother Joel Rosenberg said ...

I need to stop and pray for each & every one of our leaders. ... I know it seems hopeless, but I must remember that God is ALWAYS in control & He can do anything He chooses! ... I must also pray for ALL the people over in the Middle East .... Muslims, Christians, Jews, Palestinians ..... 

... And remember, I am praying for each of you. ... We must remember that even though the world is hurtling at an incredible speed towards the end of this age, we are never alone! ... We certainly have each other, and more importantly, we have our Savior & Lord Jesus Christ watching over us every moment of every day .... Hallelujah!

Until next time,
