Current Trends in the American Landscape

1. Finding and pumping more oil.  Specifically shale oil through fracking and horizontal drilling.
2. Going deeper into debt. The slide accelerates.
3. Gun laws and gun control are currently in the news and this is encouraging people to shop for more guns before they get "shut out".
4. This is the first time in my life I can remember the President so thoroughly supported by the media at large.
5. Iran continues it's march toward nuclear weapons.
6. In technology "Smart Phones" have completed their take-over of the traditional cell phone.  Apple, their creator has yet to reveal anything new since Steve Jobs passing.  His successor, Tim Cook continues on the steady course by changing shapes and sizes and updating memory and displays.

Through all these things the Bible continues to inspire.

1. He that hath an ear let him hear.  
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
