With social media so prevalent it is hard to know what is true anymore.  Just because it was posted on Face Book or in the newspaper, doesn't mean that it is valid.  One of the hardest things in today's world is knowing whom to believe.  Or what to believe.

Since I don't go out much, I read and watch a lot of television.  Mostly the news.  It is amazing how I can get two opposite definitions of "truth" simply by flipping channels.  And the spiels are so sincere.  The expressions on their faces so believable.

The best I can do is pray that whoever ends up being our next president will get honest and truthful information on which to base their decisions.  So that we don't end up with a "Weapons of Mass Destruction War" again.  Or (if you are old enough to remember) another "Domino Effect" like Vietnam.  Both of those wars were based on false information and false assumptions.   Honestly entered based on misinformation.  And enough guilt to go around for both parties.  When you've lived as long as I have you get disillusioned by what politicians tell you.

I have never seen such animosity between the political parties as is going on right now.  Civility has gone out the door.  Where are our leaders?  Our statesmen?  I'm going to have to vote for someone next year .  I just hope that in the end, God gives me someone I can respect to vote for.  And someone that will tell me the truth.

Truth.  Jesus said, "I am the truth...no man comes to the Father but by me."  Only God can fix the mess the world is in right now.  Politicians may promise to save America, but God alone can do that.  I think we should probably be on our knees about now.

"God bless America, land that I love.  Stand beside her, and guide her..."  Please God.  Do that.
