That, as a nation, we have not trusted, honored, believed and followed the Word of God. Is the Devine hedge of protection lifted? I pray no! Have we, as a nation, forgot? I pray not! Great poem, but a little hard to read with the blue letters on the blue background, but loved it. Thank you for remembering.Brian Ray Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242157834688837290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-14573837134929083402010-09-11T14:06:19.225-07:002010-09-11T14:06:19.225-07:00Well said, Gregg.

Until we face the facts that lofty ideals of this world are just futile talk and there are much greater spiritual issues at work, we cannot understand what is really going on here.<br /><br />As with the history that you have pointed out, it's there in the Bible for all to read. Despite claims of "bringing democracy", "Islam is a religion of peace", and all of the other commmonly cited cliches, the conflict will not end as a result of America's efforts. Despite what anyone tries to claim, it <i>IS</i> a holy war--a war that began 1400 years ago and has never ended since that time. Most people either don't know their history or choose to ignore it.<br /><br />This was a great provocative piece of poetry that more people should read and then ponder.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-67779330626137973332010-09-11T07:52:03.902-07:002010-09-11T07:52:03.902-07:00That's really beautiful!!
