Meat for the Hungry

Ignorance is bliss. What do I mean? Well, my eyes see so much corruption in our world, and I wish I could return to a time when I didn’t see it. A time of innocence when I walked around with rose-colored glasses thinking we all had a bright and rosy future.   But those days are long past, and my eyes do see.   Still, not all see what I see. So, why can’t many see our overreaching government preparing us to accept Antichrist and his mark?

We know He said it and we try to believe, but sometimes it’s just easier to feel overwhelmed and depressed, than to think, somehow we missed it. In the chaos, we long to withdraw to the refuge of our bed and pull the covers over our head until it all goes away.
