I believe what men do not want to realize or understand in times like
terrorism, in divorce, in accidents, etc. Man was given free will by God.
God does not make man go against his free will.  He did not make us puppets
and pull our strings  - He does not make us quit drinking so we will not hit
another car and kill a family (as an example) -    We do whatever we want to
do - yes God can intervene - that is what prayer is for.   Life can be
snuffed out of any of us anytime, we do not know what is going to happen
from day to day.  God will not change a Hitler, unless he wants to be
changed.  Its our decision how we act.   And many times that horrible
decision effects other innocent people.

Yes, ultimately there will be peace in the world, but this will be after the
Lord takes the people home that have accepted him by faith.  Right now,
there will be no peace, but wars and rumors of wars. It has always been this
way and will continue just as the Bible tells us.  Its our decision what we
do with our life and who we trust in.  We can trust in a rock and pray to
that rock, or to God and pray to God or completely not believe in anything.

Please listen to Billy Graham's ministry that was on today at noon - I am
sure it will be played tonight.

I certainly do not know everything nor do I understand everything, but I
will stand on my faith of the Lord and trust that He does have everything
under control for this country - and whatever is coming -   and believe me I
have been thru some rough times in my life as many of you have.   I am also
a private investigator in Chattanooga and unless you get out in this
community and see what is really going on and the hurt and pain that people
cause others - even their own family -  you realize that you have to have
faith and trust  and a belief that in prayer -  God will be with us and a
hope for the coming of tomorrow.
