and what are You doin?

Sunday October 3rd, Habakkuk 1: 2 How long, O LORD, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, "Violence!" but you do not save? 3 Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrong? It is tempting in the midst of evil and injustice to point to God and ask how long will it take for you to do something. At the same time God is looking at us and asking “how long will you continue to tolerate this?” We are winding down in Iraq, years and years and billions and trillions too late and continuing in Afghanistan. We voted for change and got delayed gratification while the profiteers from the former death march to profit fund what is deemed a grass roots movement to continued corporate greed and war profiteering. How Long O Lord, how Long will you let us go on? Those who volunteered for ideals find themselves praying at the graves of their friends, how long O Lord, how long? Let us answer the question with “no more!” Let us support our fallen comrades with the cry of “no more! Let us end this satanic drive toward corporate profit war with “no more!” In this world of corporate greed driven killing can be content to see how the football game is going and how the stock market is doing? God asks us, “How Long?”
