Stomach In Your Throat

Ever had you stomach jump up to your mouth?  May sound strange, but I think that happens when you have a near tragic experience.

This morning my wife drove myself and two of my children to the station.  I was sitting in the front seat and could see everything that was happening.

The upcoming light had turned red for 2 full seconds and she continued barreling down the street ready to run the light at that busy intersection.  I could see she was going to run it.  Scary,  as I have seen a car pulverize a man on a scooter at that same intersection.  Not a good place to break the law.

I shouted, “Stop!” and thankfully she did. If she wouldn’t have, would for of us be in heaven today?  I don’t know but as I write this my stomach is still in my throat.

The End Of The American Empire

Since 2006, I have been talking about the end of the American empire.  With the current government in the US and the phenomenal spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,   we see the value of the dollar tumbling.  Wasn’t this what we saw in the British Empire?  A country over-extending itself and eventually caving in?

Furthermore, history shows us similar things with the Spanish, the Vikings, the Portuguese, and even the Roman empires.  What is particularly of interest is the connection between the decline in the morality of the empire (or country) and the corresponding decline in their influence.

Praying for believers in America to rise up!

China Overtakes Japan As World's Second

It looks like China has finally overtaken Japan as the world’s second largest economy. I don’t think too many people or even companies think, “I think I want to be the world’s largest economy”.
However, it is amazing that the little island nation of Japan went from a burned out defeated nation in 1945 to the world’s second largest economy for years.

Well, 65 years later they have to give up the crown to China. We’ll see how things go there. Well done Japan!
