What Have We Become?

It's a terrible indication of how low American culture has sunk -- both in efficiency and morality.

63-year old Joaquin Rivera, a leading personality in Philadelphia's Latino community who was a musician and (for 30 years) a bilingual counselor at an inner-city high school died in a hospital waiting room. He had come in complaining of pain but was made to wait over an hour before a triage nurse finally got round to him. He was already dead.

And while he sat there dying? 3 deadbeat drug addicts stole his watch.

It was all caught on videotape and, as you can imagine, the lawsuits are probably already in the works.

When we decided to kick God out of public life, when we chose materialism, hedonism and subservience to a nanny state over our Christian heritage, we were left to fend for ourselves.

And this is where it has taken us.

God, in Your mercy, please rescue us from our bad decisions, our ingratitude for Your blessings on our nation, our annihilation of so many millions of preborn children, and our teaching of lies and pagan religion. Help us to repent from our rebellion against You and receive again Your wonderful grace as we walk again in Your ways.
