As I was taking my morning walk today, I thought about Hillary Clinton's now infamous question before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with regard to four Americans being murdered in the Benghazi attack on September 11, 2012. I also noticed this morning in the news that the same Hillary Clinton, who is presently running for the office of President, is now arguing that same sex marriage should be a "Constitutional Right." God says otherwise (Romans 1:24-28 NLT).
Observed other news headlines in our nation today with great sadness:
Then I pondered the fact that all of the above ungodly events were (and are presently) happening "while men slept." Thankfully, God does not slumber or sleep (Psalm 121:4). He's fully aware of all of the above ungodly activities and events (Psalm 11:4-7; Psalm 33:13-15). One day, He will balance the books (Psalm 62:9; 2 Corinthians 5:10 NET), rendering righteous judgment upon all nations, including America (Acts 17:30-31).
Beloved, "What Difference Does It Make?" It makes all the difference in the world to God (Psalm 33:12; Psalm 9:17 - note the contrast).

Observed other news headlines in our nation today with great sadness:
- DEA chief tells House committee she can't fire agents involved in sex parties (fornication and lasciviousness are sins not tolerated by God).
- Billy Joel, 65, expecting a baby with girlfriend (without benefit of a God approved marriage).
- Judge rules woman who recorded ex-Clippers owner Sterling's racist rant owes his wife $2.6M (After reading this story, I'm reminded of Jeremiah 17:9).
- Former Atlanta Educators Sentenced to Prison (regarding the innocent children of our country, I'm reminded of Exodus 23:7). Are we not figuratively "killing the innocent" when we disallow them a proper education?
