As I continue to follow the issue with North Korea and after hearing about Steve McNair, I feel it necessary to weigh in on the state of mankind. I am by no means an expert... and certainly have my share of transgressions as well, but I am beginning to wonder if I am alone in my being woeful (from a religious standpoint) about the state of our values and morals.
On the day that we Americans celebrate our own independence we are slapped in the face with constant looming fears of foreign threats as well as the threat of a nation slipping farther and farther away from demanding accountablity for actions. It is our duty as a Democracy to disspell threats of those who threaten freedom and impose and unwanted way of life upon others. Until recently,I have had no doubt that we are capable of becoming peacemakers, as we are a superpower.
A growing problem,within our own borders seems to be plaguing the nation. Infidelity has been around for centuries and I doubt that it will ever really go away, but recently it has become an increasingly destructive problem that receives so much attention. I am just worried about the state of our morals and values these days.
I don't really follow football that closely, but I did know of Mr. McNair and he seemed to be an outstanding ball player and person on and off the field. What I can't understand... and I don't proclaim to know the insides of his relationship with his wife, but what in the world causes a man to make such poor decisions?!!
The outlook for marriage in general is dismal. In general,I just don't feel like people are willing to compromise in order to make marriage work. After all, I was told that's what it's all about. Communication and compromise....and above all else GOD!! Holding on to Him will get you through the lowest and toughest of times and He will help you to see things through to the other side. I not naive enough to think that every marriage is going to work and last forever and don't want anyone to think that I believe in the idea of staying married no matter what. My message is this... there will be problems... every relationship promises this... there will be times when you want to quit, when you feel like there is no way out but there always is when you turn to GOD. If you are thinking about stepping outside of your marriage to find happiness, just remember... He knows all and sees all and those who live in his favor will receive his blessings. And we ALL are in need.
