Yes, Peter, I have to agree. I think humanity in general has failed, but many still try to do what they can as God would want us too. That's one reason I still have faith in this world as screwed up as it may be. Linking as usual, Your proverbs are usually my initial link In the Big Picture section of my website on Sundays. As usual, keep up the great work.

Bless you, Peter, for reminding everyone of the importance of this. I have watched in despair, over my lifetime, as my government has shifted to endorsing legalized gambling and smoking marijuana. Instead of admonishing people that such habits are bad for you and detrimental to society, municipal liquor stores, pull tabs, and pot dispensers have become a convenient revenue source for government. This is the wrong path, and people should acknowledge it. We should instead be a society that voluntarily ministers to the unfortunate, not a society sitting around getting high and evaporating their incomes on gambling. We are seriously imperfect beings, but we should return to the path of trying to be better individuals! Clearly, that is the path that would please God.

Thank you for your dedicated efforts, Peter. You earn your readers’ respect every day!

I believe everyone in their heart wants to live in a better world than the one we have. The challenge is always how to get that better world.

People of good conscience can and should debate what the actual right action is for any particular situation, but there should be no debate that what is needed in every situation is right action, right words, and right focus.
