Fire Ants

          Drudge has a USA TODAY article and video up right now titled...."Watch: Island of fire ants floats through flood waters after Florence. The following is part of a post from May of 2011 when our national debt was $14 trillion.....and many of us were up in arms about it. That debt is well over $21 trillion today....and the Senate just passed an emergency short-term funding bill of of $854 billion....that still funds Planned Parenthood....and they won't have to deal with such an unseemly issue before the voting starts.....yeah I'm motivated. The House will vote on it and then it will wind up on President Trump's desk.
          John Wayne's first major film Stagecoach truly is one of the best films ever made. There is a scene where a passenger on the stagecoach....a banker who had just skipped town with his bank's money....ranted about the national debt being $1 billion dollars a year....and the country needing a businessman for president! Well I guess he was wrong on that count.
          There's a humorous scene in that beautiful film where the Indian wife of the proprietor of one of the relief stations takes his horse at night and leaves. The passengers try to console him...."You can always get another wife." He explains....."I beat her and she never gets tired!" "Your wife" they ask. "No my horse. Yes, I can always get another wife....but I'll never get another horse like that." That's about what we have become....we can always get another god....but not an economy like this.

Fire Ants

          A proverb of Solomon is...."Go the the ant you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise." There's a new report in a scientific journal where it has been determined that fire ants survive floods in the Brazilian rain forests by using air pockets in their bodies and clasping  on to one another, in other words forming a living raft upon which they can even save their young and their food, No, we may not be able to stop the flood coming upon us but we can ride atop it, for the Creator of the ant and of man are One and the same. Providing that God should even have mercy upon us to even survive as a nation, there would be more satisfaction in life living through hard times in acknowledgment of Him than living without Him in what we would falsely consider prosperous times. There is our answer!
