from a news source today

From a news source today:

Girl, 17, arrested for putting Lysol in mother's juice. The mom reported a burning sensation in her throat, but she didn't want to be taken to the hospital. (Fosters.com)

Mom charged after cleaning bathroom with son's toothbrush. Images The mother told police that the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in two months, "so she cleaned it for her son using his toothbrush, which she put back in the holder for his use." He claims it had feces on it. (LehighValleyLive.com)

Don't send nude photos to your girlfriend if mom shares the phone. An 18-year-old man was cited for disorderly conduct after he sent a nude picture of himself to his 17-year-old girlfriend. Her mother, who also uses the phone, saw the photo first. (BrookfieldNow.com)

It makes you wonder where our world is headed.

There is no one righteous, not even one;
         there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.

All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good,
         not even one."
(Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20)
Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit."
The poison of vipers is on their lips."(Psalm 5:9)
Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness." (Psalm 10:7)
Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways,
        and the way of peace they do not know."
(Psalm 10:7)
There is no fear of God before their eyes."
(Romans 3:10-18)

Of course, the same thing was a problem in the New Testament when Paul wrote this. And it was obviously a problem before him, because he quotes so many Old Testament passages in what he says.

I suppose it has always been that way, and always will be.

But in our country, it has only come up recently and it seems that our country is on its last legs. And it hurts.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
