Effigy of Palin Hanging by Noose is Halloween Fun, Owner Says - FOXNews.com Elections

What is this world coming to? When did we turn the corner back to indimidation and scare tatics as being acceptable? This news report sickens me and I am sadden that my children live in these times.

I am very fearful for where our country is headed. I am afraid we have forgotten from whom our wealth, prosperity, and security as a nation have come from. Our country was blessed with a situation unlike any other in the world by a God whom the people served. Our forefathers knew our blessing or destruction would be in God's hands and they intended to run it under God's authority. However, once the wealth and ease came, did we forget who was responsible for it? Have we become so full of ourselves that we actually believe we are responsible for the freedoms we have enjoyed?

I would recommend reading Deuteronomy 8:1-20 in the Bible, now before the election, and give serious thought to what kind of nation we want to be. A nation that serves God or a nation that wants to exclude him? I am afraid the populus of the people may want the latter, and that God just may deliver that exact situation to them.

When I hear stories like the one attached or tv stations be excluded from futher interviews because they didn't like a line of questioning, or newspapers refusing to release video footage of Sen. Obama associating with a terrorist and a PLO associate; I am absolutely amazed that the people of the United States cannot see this as a foreshadowing of what the landscape will look like in the future under a leadership of a nation outside of God's will.

The polls say Obama is a shoe-in for the presidency but I believe the people of God still have time to continue to pray for God's will to be done. I'm not saying John McCain is the answer either but if these are our two choices, I belive John McCain's direction is closer to the way God would want our country to head.

God has shown His willingness in the past to halt a punishment when His people have repented and turned from their evils ways. His people need to step up now! Pray for our country's repentance and that we may turn from the evil of relying on our own standards and abilities so that we once again turn to God as a nation.
