Last night, our son Bobby graduated from Waukesha County Technical College Police Academy.  We were invited to the ceremony which included a very nice dinner and many speakers.  

 Among the speakers was Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin who is a newly elected official.  He ran on the platform of being a business man instead of a politician.  He won handily mainly because people are so sick of the politicians in Washington that they are grasping at anything.  I realize he has his detractors and some people think voting is a waste of time but that’s not the issue here. 

He gave a very sobering address to the audience which included many, many high ranking police officials and College Board members.  What he said was frightening and he did not mince words.  He started by saying that he was so glad to be back in Wisconsin – out of Washington and the debt ceiling issue.  He said that what they voted on will NOT solve the problem at all.  The debt is 14 TRILLION dollars and our worth is 14 trillion dollars which puts us in a precarious situation.  If we need to borrow money, we may not be able to do it.  Think China and other Communist nations and how they now  easily control us.  Didn't the Commies boast that they would bury us without firing a shot?  Its pretty clear now that they have accomplished that goal.

He said that we were basically all responsible to spread the word about the danger that our country is in but that unless something changes, there isn't a whole lot of hope for us.  I was envisioning the anti-Christ easily coming out of this mess.

The thought that popped into my mind was that the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary which took place on Monday, August 22 was so very essential and necessary.  In case you haven't had the pleasure to see it, here is the link.  

The bottom line is that we MUST stay in the state of sanctifying grace and pray for final perseverance.   We have no idea what form any of this will take but if we keep focused on God and heaven, hopefully we will be victorious.

Here is Psalm 2 for your encouragement:

[1] Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things? [2] The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ. [3] Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us. [4] He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them. [5] Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
[6] But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment. [7] The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel. [10] And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
[11] Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling. [12] Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. [13] When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.

Here is a good example of God's Wrath
