There is the way we think it is,and there is the way it really is. All the bad news and fighting and hating.....you'd have to have your head in the sand to ignore it. Our kids future lives depend on all of us doing a better job.Most people try to get along.The only real change in people comes when they read Gods word and accept him into their lives.That goes for me as well. I hear all this bad stuff and i have to ask God to let me see people the way he sees people.I am not perfect myself.My opinion last but a short while then vanishes,but Gods opinion last forever. Love your neighbor as yourself.
