I was on my local news site, reading articles.
Talk about depressing. Teenage mothers murdering their newborn offspring; teenage girls shacking up with adult men for years, and no one seemed to notice - until she scalded him and put him in the hospital. Teachers beating students; thug boy attire banned from a mall... and everyone crying racist.
Ron and I figured out years ago, it isn't the race people despise, it's the ignorance. I have a black neighbor across the street (and a black husband, for that matter); and a latino neighbor next door. They're both fine neighbors. I like them.
But even if you could download an internet's worth of knowledge into every resisting brain; people would still suck.
It's out nature. We sin.
We're haughty, self-rightous, proud, stubborn, and defiant. It amazes me, what I had to endure, before I turned myself over to God.
I know I needed to experience every single moment, before I'd become willing to let God use me. I can honestly say, I am living 2 Timothy Chapter 3, everytime I click on my local news site. I've got the horrendous human nature, and the persecution if I dare to mention my faith.
Ay yi yi. I don't know why He bothers with us, but I'm sure glad He does.
